Classics: Oscar Wilde & "The Importance of Being Earnest"
We have many classics in all of our different societies, which will live on forever. I have been taken out two different classics from the book short cuts 2 that I will analyze. I will also talk about the authors way of writing the text and also about the authors lives and how they had it at that specific time. I chose Oscar Wildes The Importance Of Being Earnest and Charles Dickenss Great Expectations.

So she takes a notebook and starts to interview him, to see that he is the perfect man for her daughter. The text is told from a third person perspective, the language of the text has some words that is a little bit outdated (ex. tampers, affectionate) but I think the rest is modern. The text is also taking place somewhere in the Victorian England during the era. I think that the message of the text is, It is how you was born that matters Just because when Lady Bracknell hears about that Jack was found on the streets and carried in a handbag that was found in a cloakroom she says, You can hardly imagine that I and Lord Bracknell would dream of allowing our only daughter-a girl brought up with the utmost care-to marry into a cloakroom and form an alliance with a parcel. Good morning, Mr. Worthing.4
