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.

Based on the Reagan story alone, how do you think Lexington would answer
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Lexington would talk about how important is work for teenagers, since the story of the hardworking Reagan is presented as an example.

Explanation: Lexington presents Reagan's story as a way of differing with many americans that claim summer jobs to be boring. Reagan was a harworker young man, who worked as a lifeguard, but in comparison to some teenagers, he would take it seriously to the point of saving people's lives from a river and scold them for it. He would wake up early and do his job for 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Therefore, If Lexington is presenting Reagan's hard routine, he would answer to a question like that by making the difference between lazy teenagers that complain about muscle ache and how they should value it, like Reagan.

Which type of story is an Allegory? *
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

an allegory is a story, poem, or picture, it’s used to reveal a hidden meaning or message, like the moral. Allegories are exciting because they use characters and events to convey a meaning. They don’t just come right out and say it.

Explanation:

Follow these steps to spot allegory in literature. Look for a didactic theme or moral tone in the work. Allegory is often used as an embodiment for moral qualities and messages as in Aesop's Fables. The story itself is constructed in such a way as to convey a central theme or lesson.
