Dishonesty is no doubt a huge theme in The Importance Of Being Earnest. One way you can tell is through the epigrams that the characters so often throw out at the reader. A good way these represent dishonesty is because I think they are saying something that contradicts itself but makes sense. Also, I think that the satire of this novel and the social institutions is very dishonest because it shows that almost everyone would lie and cheat. Also, even though the title has the word "Earnest" Which means serious, is to trick you. It's to show that people back then were not honest. Also, He says that to get pleasure, you have to lie through a process known as "Bunburying".
Mainly what I think Oscar Wilde is trying to say about dishonesty in this story is really that it can lead to some uncomfortable occasions, such as act three. I think he really disagrees with dishonesty because if he wanted everyone to be honest he wouldn't have named the book The Importance of being earnest, because I think that that is the main theme overall. That it is better to be honest and true.

Animal Farm Project Evaluations
1. Adora: Adora's poem was awesome! It was extremely creative and I took a lot of thought. She completely extended the theme.
2: Connor: Connor's comic strip was very creative. I thought it was really cool how he chose to be a little different with his comic, giving a bit of a victorian style to it.
3. Kayla: Kayla's comic strip looked really good. You could tell she put a lot of work into it. The only thing is, I can't really understand what she's trying to say.
4.Thomessa: I can't really tell what project Thomessa did, but it looks really good. The way she showed the 7 commandments before and after Squealer altered them was really interesting.
5: Daniel S.: Daniel's photoshop made me laugh. He really showed the parallel to the Russian Revolution, because he put the leaders' heads on the animals.
6. Davis: Davis's project showed all the parallels to the russian revolution. It was a little messy, but it get's his point across well.
7. Emma and Catherine: The Trailer that these two did was awesome. It showed all the different themes, and was different from all the other movies I saw. Plus, there was an epic burning down of a cardboard house. It definately showed the themes.
8. Dan M.: Dan's comic was really neat and easy on the eyes. It did kind of look like it only took about five minutes, but it clearly showed all the themes.
9. Levi: Levi's was definately my favorite. It was completely computer generated, and really showed the themes. Plus he showed the themes clearly. Very Unique.
10. Sidney: Sidney did a poem, and she clearly showed all the themes, and the problems on the farm. Her poem was very well written.
As for mine, I think mine was okay. I definately got my ideas across, and showed them clearly. I believe compared to Levi's though, it was not very great. But still, not terrible.
