The importance of being earnest/ victorian research

The Victorian era research has helped understand the book so much better. If i hadn't researched this era I would have not gotten this book at all. I would be thinking about how an author could come up with something so bazaar. I would not even get the story line, I would be so lost at the couple pages. Not to mention later in the story with the climax of the story.

If I hadn't researched marriage in the Victorian era I would be so confused when Algernon and Cecily get engaged after knowing each other for only several minutes. pg. 53 "You will marry me, wont you?" This is a quote that Algernon says to Cecily on the same day that they meet each other. In the present times people take months or years together before they become engaged. Later in the story it proves that you should always get to know someone a lot better before you get engaged to them. pg.64 Cecily asks "Are you called Algernon" and he responds "I can not deny it." This proves how easily it is to lie about something, and make them believe you. Overall I am so glad that we had the chance to research this time period before we read the book.

I probably could change a lot in myself to make myself a better person but for this year I am only going to change a few things to make my life easier and funner. I could definitely organize my belongings because my room and backpack is a mess. I can also work on studying ahead of test days. And I might be happier in school if I try to look on the bright side of doing things, for example projects, and reading a book, or even a science lab

The reasons I chose these three things to change is that I have trouble finding papers, and I always forget about a test coming up, and I usually am depressed when a teacher says that they have a project to do. I need to organise my things so it is easier to find the miscellaneous thins that I may need in the future. And in some classes when I need to find some kind of paper in my bag I have to dig through my backpack every time and sometimes it rips, and then my teacher may not be happy with the appearance of the paper. On test days I always freak out because i forgot to study and I don't really get what the test is on and then I might get a bad grade. But if I just remember to study then I wont freak out every test day. When teacher say that we have to do something that I may think is boring I look only on the bad side of things. If I just look on the good side of things then school could actually be fun.
