Elements of Historical Contents: Wealth

In this book, there are problems when it comes to wealth. Dorian wants to marry a poor lady named Sibyl Vane, and his friends kept complaining on how poor she was. In the Victorian era, the rich and poor were seperated in a huge way. The situatuation with Dorian and Sybil is accurate with marrying up, which was prefferable, and not down.

  1. I like the way that your statement was short but it got straight to the point of what you were trying to say. And further more i liked the way that it seems like you actually knew what you were talking about. I did something like that but i couldn't get to the point as quick as you could
    Great Job

  2. I agree with Peter that your statement was right the point. I know I could never be that concise. But it also wouldn't hurt to add more details and go more in depth in the story. Read in between the lines. We are in GT. :]
