About Me
- Kerrie Smith
- I have been teaching ESL since I graduated from the University of Florida in 1997. I have been fortunate enough to spend two wonderful years teaching abroad: one year in Chunchon, Korea, and another in Oaxaca, Mexico. I have been living here in San Antonio for around 7 years now, and during that time I have continued teaching ESL and have earned my Master's Degree in Bicultural-Bilingual Studies. I love being in the ESL classroom as each semester brings new students from just about every part of the world.

he was afraid of lose his beuty, he want to be beuty forever, he can't imaging when his hair turn gray, his face in wrinkles and his tooths disappear.
He reaction is very inmature. He
doesn't consider Basil as an artist.His vanity is a bad quality.
I agree with AnaMaria comment, Dorian is afraid by Lord Henry comments about youth, Dorian prefer still being young without suppose what could happend....if he makes a wich.
He was influence by what Lord Henry said what happen when he gets older. Lord Henry told him that he would never be as young as his own portrait.

i think Dorian has never thought his face won't change the old. that time he was feeling the fear. so he was afraid.
he reacts like that because he thinks that the portrait will take his beauty and place in the future because as henry told him he will be ugly in future, and that's why he decide to destroy the portrait and kill him self.
other most important Harry tell before, Dorian Gray doesn't know his's beauty face. so Dorian angry
I think that Dorian Gray is kind of jealous of the portrait because he is going to get older and the portrait not. He is kind of afraid to get older and turn ugly. He remember what Lord Henry told him about getting old. Like I said before he is easily influenced by Lord Henry.
He is afraid to lose his youth.
He love his beauty and his youth.
There are his best of important tings in his life.
He never believe his old figure.
An artist should paint beautiful things;but he should put nothing of his own life into them. For that reason the world will never see my portrait of Doriaan Gray.
Because, Dorian is insecure, and his jealous about the portrait is a consequence.For that reason, his narcissism started to be dangerous for himself. And, with this situation Oscar Wilde remember us that the humans are not inmortals.In the present days many people don't accept this and try to be like Dorian Gray for example......A famous pop star with legal problems ?
