I chose to add my “Dorian Gray: Planning a Party” project to my portfolio because it’s my favorite project that I made based off of a book we read in class. In my class we were reading different banned books and I was in the group for The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. The Picture Of Dorian Gray is a novel that takes place in the late 1800's that's about a wealthy and handsome young man named Dorian Gray who one day wishes that his portrait would age for him and he would get to stay young and beautiful forever. His wish is granted, but at a heavy price- he no longer has a soul. As the novel progresses Dorian begins to become more and more cold hearted and evil. For my project I had to plan a party for a character of the novel, and naturally I chose Dorian Gray. I had to unleash my inner party planner and plan everything for the party, including entertainment, food, drinks, decorations, and an overall theme for the party. My theme for Dorian Gray's party was "Beauty and Luxury Are Forever", and I chose this theme because Dorian Gray was a character who loved the finer things in life- the best food, drink, books, etc. So I figured that he would throw a super extravagant and lavish party about his favorite two subjects-beauty and money. So for this project I really had to do a lot of research on what types of food and drinks they would have had back then in the 19th century. Overall, I extremely really liked this project a lot because of the amount of creativity I was able to use in it. And plus I liked the organization and detail that went into planning it.
