Due Monday, March 26th - "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde - Chapters V-IX (5-9)

1)  Read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde - Chapters V-IX (5-9)

2)  Compose a blog response.  As we did before, please choose 1-2 quotations that give us insights into the philosophy of Oscar Wilde. Aestheticism. The artist's purpose. Religion. Facts. Beauty. Read your classmates' responses and come up with something fresh. There is a lot of ground to cover, here. Feel free, of course, to comment on the plot and your feelings and reactions to what is taking place. Those feelings will be connected to the larger whole that Wilde wants us to experience.

3)  Maker connections to Defending Your Life.  How are we seeing the idea of beauty?  Intelligence?  Humor?  Iron?  Satire?  Most importantly - authenticity.

I look forward to your responses.
