Dorian Gray should absolutely be read today. Its themes of morality, narcissism and guilt are more relevant than ever. Youth has never been valued more highly: our society is one in which old age is almost always portrayed in a negative light, in which many products and services are sold with the goal of delaying or desguising the signs of age. There is no natural acceptance of the cycles of life, of old age as a worthwhile stage with its own particular pleasures. The only pleasures and virtues are those of youth: beauty, energy, impetuousness are valued while wisdom and serenity are not. Dorian Gray's story is the story of a man who sought to keep his youth and beauty at the cost of his morality. It's also the story of someone who could live life with no consequences: despite his crimes, his face preserved an angelical beauty, while his portrait paid the cost of his actions. Due to ever growing inequality, the rich nowadays can emulate Dorian Gray in more than one way, which makes his story all the more relevant.

yan [13]

True.

Scientifically proven, there is no way for any animal or creature to live in space, because there is no oxygen, nor vacuum to keep people and animal alive there. That is why astronauts have to wear suits when they are in outerspace.

When you are using a source in your paper, when is it appropriate to use a direct quote and when should you paraphrase? Why?
ratelena [41]
When you are using a source in your paper, you can use a direct quote when you want to report the exact thing that the author said. In this case, the sentence must be put inside a quotation mark to show that you are quoting the author directly. When writing a paper that uses sources, you are expected to paraphrase the content, direct quote should only be used when it becomes absolutely necessary and the source must be acknowledged. This is very important in order to avoid plagiarism in your work. <span />
