Oscar Wilde wrote a play called “The Importance of Being Earnest” and it was first performed in 1895. The play is about the characters that have different identities and do not always tell the truth. Since‚ the play has been released there have been many film remakes of Oscar Wilde’s play. The one that I decided to compare it to was the 2002 version that was directed by Oliver Parker. Parker keeps the meaning‚ tone‚ structure‚ text‚ and theme the same compared to the play. Parker expands‚ energizes

scholarship actually is. All of you today that are being inducted into the National Honor Society should consider yourself scholars. A scholar‚ by definition‚ is a distinguished academic or one who has an aptitude for study. There is an important difference between being a scholar and simply being a student – scholars care quite a bit more.

Importance of Being Earnest Act 1 Characters immediately establish the tone and social context of the play. References to “Lady Bracknell”‚ “Mr Moncrieff’s manservant” and the “governess” indicate that play involves wealthy upper class. The characters are of course constructs – Wilde uses them merely as mouth pieces to express/parody value judgements about morality and Victorian ideals of duty and virtue. Premise of the play is creation of a paradox – explores inability/impossibility of being

Literacy skills begin early - by the age of five or six. Before they even begin school‚ bilingual children have already absorbed the grammatical structures‚ sounds‚ and vocabulary of a language. This assumption takes into account that parents speak with their children in their own mother tongue from a very young age.

The analysis for the Bilingual Education Attitudes Survey theorizes that items in the survey have a strong correlation‚ which demonstrates evidence for construct validity. Measuring both the convergent and discriminant validity supports this theory because in Table 1‚ there is a very strong positive correlation between the first administration (r= .91) and a strong positive correlation with the second administration (r= .86)‚ in relation to the previously validated bilingual education scale.
