Here are a few key points about the homosexual subtext in The Importance of Being Earnest and how it relates to LGBTQ themes today:
- While homosexuality was still taboo and illegal in Wilde's time, the play allowed him to subtly address same-sex desire and relationships through the use of double meanings, in-jokes, and playful subversion of gender norms.
- Bringing this subtext to light helps modern audiences understand Wilde's work in its original social context and the risks he took in writing about topics seen as scandalous at the time.
- Reexamining this play with awareness of its subtext has helped claim Wilde as an early LGBTQ voice and role model,

An inspector calls - character and theme revisionmrhoward12
Here is an analysis of two dramatic devices in An Inspector Calls and their intended effects on the audience:
The use of dramatic irony is highly effective when the Inspector reveals that Eva Smith is in fact the same girl each character had encountered. The audience knows from the start that the girl's full name is Eva Smith, but the characters do not. When the Inspector connects each of their stories to the same girl, the other characters and the audience experience a shocking revelation. This builds dramatic tension as the audience waits with dread for each character's secrets to be uncovered.
Priestley also uses interruptions strategically to assert the Inspector's authority and disrupt the characters' sense of control. For example, when Mr. Birling is dismissing the

Hello,
SOPHOMORE!
It has been an
incredible
experience to
watch this group
of freshmen
grow, mature,
and embrace
literature this
year in my
classroom. I can
only imagine the
remarkable
things you will
accomplish as
sophomores.
Luckily for me,
I was given the
opportunity to
continue to work
with you as your
10th
grade ELA
teacher! While
this is exciting, I
want to caution
you: My
expectations are
high. I expected
great things
from you as
freshmen, and I
expect even
greater things
from you as
sophomores. My
plan is to push
you even further
academically.
Like your
freshmen year, you will read and write… a lot. So please be prepared!
Sophomore year is an integral time. Now, more than ever, your grades are an essential aspect of
your road to college. Everything you do academically next year will affect you for the rest of your life,
and the decisions you make right now will have a strong impact on the college you attend and the
2. scholarships you receive. With that in mind, this summer is the perfect opportunity to start your
sophomore year off right.
As part of your studies in 10th grade English, you are required to actively read a novel, answer
study questions, and complete writing activities in connection with the novel, including a handwritten
essay. Your work is due on Monday, August 6 (the third day of school). You will also take a rigorous
exam over the novel on that day. All 10th graders who will attend Williams Prep during the 2012-2013
school year (including those who are currently not yet enrolled at Williams) are required to complete
these assignments.
Your summer reading packet and exam are the first grades of next year, so strive to start the year
off with some high scores! Please don’t hesitate to contact me or the school if you have any questions or
concerns over the summer.

10th
grade required summer novel: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Summary: “Phoniness,” which is probably the most famous phrase from The Catcher in the Rye, is
Holden’s catch-all for describing the superficiality, hypocrisy, pretension, and shallowness that he
encounters in the world around him. Holden explains that adults are inevitably phonies, and, what’s
worse, they can’t see their own phoniness. Phoniness, for Holden, stands as an emblem of everything
that’s wrong with people and provides an excuse for him to withdraw into his cynical isolation. Holden,
however, expends so much energy searching for phoniness in others that he never directly observes his
own phoniness. Although he’d like to believe that the world is a simple place and that virtue and
innocence rest on one side of the fence while superficiality and phoniness rest on the other, Holden is his
own counterevidence. The world is not as simple as he’d like—and needs—it to be; even he cannot
adhere to the same black-and-white standards with which he judges other people.
How do I get my book? All students are required to purchase their own copies of the novel from Half
Price Books, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon.com. You must actively annotate your novels. If you choose to
check out your book from the library, you must write annotations (with page numbers) on a separate sheet
of paper.
Reminder: Bring your book to school with you August 2-6.
