Objective: Students will analyze text and describe the characters in Chapters 1 and 2. Students will conduct online research of mythological Greek figures, then synthesize the information by connecting it to character(s) in the text.
Lord Henry Wotton: How is he a manipulator and an initiator?
Lord Henry is a manipulator by managing to acquire everyone's trust in any way as possible, specially when he try to undergo his method using his speech. And he is also an initiator because from what I realized, Lord Henry seem to be in places that you wouldn't expect him to be at all and out of the blue, he would be there.
What kind of cigarettes does he smoke? Is this a hint of a decadent lifestyle?
The kind of cigarettes does Lord Henry smoke are the ones that are filled with opium and are often laced. And yes, this is a hint of a decadent lifestyle because he clearly have to have the expensive ones when he can't simply just get the normal ones. It always have to be fancy in some way.
How is he cynical?
Lord Henry is cynical by having the belief and motto in life that the only gift that God will ever give ourselves are beauty itself, and his point of view about it is that if you are not beautiful, you are nothing to him. Nothing at all.
Basil Hallward: Cite his reaction to his painting of Dorian Gray?
Basil Hallward's reaction to his painting of Dorian Grey makes him feel exposed, naked, and revealed. Specially when he told and showed someone about it, his reactions clearly states that he should have kept things to himself and remained his painting for his eyes only.
How has he violated the code of an artist according to Wilde's preface?
Basil Hallward violated the code of an artist according to Wilde's preface by the statement "Art is supposed to conseal the artist.", but what Hallward did was to to image his entire self which also reveals what it is and never conseal it.
He obviously sees in Dorian absolute beauty and harmony. Identify where in the passages.
Basil Hallward obviously sees in Dorian absolute beauty and harmony. These passages can be found mostly around page 23-28 of Chapter 1 in the book.
Question on Beauty: What is the main conflict in this paragraph?
The main conflict in this paragraph is where Basil Hallward's painting are being judged by everyone and came to an agreement that it was one of his greatest work that he ever done, but the conflict is that Basil does not want to show anyone about this yet even though he was clearly exposed already.

What will be Lord Henry's influence on Dorian Gray?
Lord Heny's influence on Dorian Grey I believe would be that he would somehow manage to manipulate Dorian Grey completely under his hands, as if he have chains all over the guy. With Lord Henry's obsession over beauty, and with his eyes on Dorian Grey, which is this 'beautiful' man they speak of, it clearly shows me that Lord Henry will do whatever it takes to have Dorian Grey on the palm of his hands.

Literary Elements: lots of similes identify them, metaphor (please identify them).
Analyze the symbolism of Dorian Gray's first appearance in the novel and let's discuss his physical description, his actions towards Basil, and the change in him when Lord Henry arrives.
Any reference to Music?
In this book, I found a quote that symbolizes its reference to music. "The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a distant organ."
Examine the interaction between Lord Henry and Dorian.
Cause and Effect: What is Dorian's response to his finished portrait?
Dorian's response to his finished portrait is that he ends up being too emotional on what Lord Henry speak of, and with Lord Henry's trait as being as a manipulator and an initiator, Dorian Grey now also follow Lord Henry's perspective on how beauty is the only beautiful gift he find that is worthy given by God. Now, with that in mind, Dorian Grey became too worried with his own beauty that he believes that his own appearance should not be defiled, but to treat it as if it is much more important than his own life.
Compare and contrast: Basil and Lord Henry and identify their conflict.
Basil Hallward only want to portray himself as Dorian Grey in his painting of Dorian Grey, because he wanted to see his own self in such position Dorian Grey was in, specially on how everyone looks at Dorian Grey as one that is filled with beauty. Lord Henry in the other hand, from what he saw from Basil's 'beautiful' painting, became rather interested and immediately asked Basil if he can meet Dorian Grey personally. Seeing how the painting was rather beautiful, he was later on fascinated to know how this Dorian Grey really looks like. With Basil disagree about the meeting, Lord Henry wasn't happy therefore his friendship with Basil are fading away.
Research and Correlate the allusions with Dorian Gray: Hermes, Faun.
Hermes resembles Dorian Grey because on how he physical appearance and personality are, but with Faun, Faun is rather completely different compare to the two. Faun in the other hand is not as appealing as Dorian Grey and Hermes, as his personality is also different compared to theirs.
Free Write on Prediction: How will Dorian's friendship with Lord Henry change his relationship with Basil?
Dorian Grey's friendship with Lord Henry will change his relationship with Basil by having Lord Henry completely manipulated Dorian Grey and from what I read, it seems that Dorian Grey starts to adapt Lord Henry's perspective about beauty, and from what I believe is that Dorian Grey's friendship would end with Basil's because Dorian Grey does not want to 'reveal' his beauty to anyone, and with Basil's painting there, Grey would come to a conclusion to throw that painting away.
