I thought about how I wanted to write this week’s reflection for a few days. This one is going to be different. My story begins at the end of the week. This week’s reflections are supposed to focus on syntax. I did not even know what that is so I had to look it up.

The play “The Importance of Being Earnest”, by Oscar Wilde, has the two main characters, Jack and Algernon, lie about their true identity. Besides creating comedic shenanigans for everyone involved, this lie communicates to us as the audience core concepts that can still be applied today. One concept is that love can be vain.
