THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY
|
can a painting of a person tell you more about him than the person's own face?if it is painted with love,perhaps the painting will show more than just the outside of that person - perhaps it will show the inside.
we often saythat a face is like an open book:''the face tells its own story ,''we say.when Dorian Gray sees the painting of his own face,he falls in love with his own beauty.nothing must touch his beauty,nothing must hurt or change it-not love,not even time.and so he cuts the link between his face and his heart,between his outside and his inside.his face does not change;it stays young and beautiful.but the picture-painted with love-tells the true story.it shows the real Dorian Gray,who is growing old and ugly and of hate.
Oscar Wilde(1854-1900)was one of Ireland's best and cleverest writers.his plays and children's stories,as well as'the picture ofDorian Gray,are stillenjoyed today,although they were written almost 100 years ago.

THE PIANO
|
where does music comefrom?is it something that you learn?or is it simply given to you-and nobody knows where it comes from?
the young boy in this story is not good at school.he is not good at learning wordsor numbers.he likes to sing with the boys and girls;but he is not good at singing.he does not get the first job that he tries to get.he is a nice boy,but he is not good at anything special.and then he finds a piano.he also finds that he can play the piano.so,perhaps we can say that he does not find music,but that music finds him.
Rosemary Border,the author of this story,is a very experienced teacher and writer.she lives and works in suffolk,in the east of England. |
