In response to the quote...
In the quote Pip is referring to the fact that for most people their whole life is dependent on one event that is the basis for the way that you live the rest of your life in the future. This event is usually something that is based entirely on your luck at a very young age, like the type of family you are born into. For Pip he was born into a poor family and all of his relatives died except his sister so his luck wasn't so great. The day that he was born into this sort of family permanently altered him because after being raised by his sister and constantly being beaten his emotions became very unstable. This developed Pip's character in a very negative way because it made him naturally become very timid and with hardly any confidence. After being scolded and beaten by his sister on such a regular occasion he feels that almost everything that happens is because of his wrongdoing. One memorable day that formed my character was the day my mom bought me The Beatles "1" hits album. After that day I steadily began to enjoy wide varieties of music. This has influenced most of my life up to this point because I am always striving to play or listen to music at any point in the day. As for my character I think there is a certain confidence that listening to/playing music gives me that wouldn't be there if I hadn't been given the opportunity to listen to wide varieties at a very young age.

TELTIBE Essay Collaberation
The first point I make in my body paragraph about Bunburying is how Algernon uses Bunburying completely selfishly to escape all duty like when avoiding dinner with Aunt Augusta. I then use commentary to address the matter of how Bunbury is the made up character used for escaping duty.My last commentary for this point how Algernon spends money extravagantly to enhance is appearance as a gentleman.
My next point is the way Jack uses Bunburying to separate two different the two different aspects of his life (raising Cecily and visiting his lover Gwendolen). I add commentary to this by showing how Jack is unlike Algernon in the way that he is not entirely selfish in his Bunburying. Also I expose the fact that Oscar Wilde is using the character of Jack as an example of a Successful and not at all bad way to take part in the pursuit of pleasure.
My last point is that as Algernon and Jack begin to consider marriage Algernon is stressing that they both need a way out in order to continue their pursuit of pleasure. I back this point up with the the quote from Algernon to Jack on Pg. 16 "You don't seem to realize that in married life three is company and two is none." For commentary I talk about how marriage is a road block in the pursuit of pleasure and then go on to talk about how Wilde does not think very highly of marriage and believes that people need the right to escape it.
To conclude the paragraph I talk about the statement Wilde is trying to make about Bunburying in this Play. He is trying to get across to the reader that sometimes you need a way out of everyday life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
That's basically it.
