The Picture of Dorian Gray - The real friends

In the book “The Picture of Dorian Gray” we perceived that, the real friend of the Dorian Gray, the main character, is Basil Hallward, because they were very close friends, they were honest one with the other. Dorian Gray has another friend, it’s Lord Henry, but he wasn’t a real friend, because Henry influenced Dorian to do wrong things and commit sins.
The friendship in our lives is one a way for new learning. The first friend for us Our first friends are our family, they are people whom can count for the in all moments. When we were kids, we thought: “My parents are super heroes'' and when we grew up we have are certain that this is true. The friends are people to for sharing happiness and dividing sadness with , they can help us whenever we need, and make us laugh every time. Every time or moment with friends is special. Friends are angels in our lives.


Friends are in schools, parties, streets and everywhere, it’s just search and you will find them. They are very import for in our lives, imagine a life without friends? It would be a boring life, without happiness, laughters and moments to record in the memory and in funny pictures. How As Mario Quintana said: Friendship is a Love that never dies.
A real friendship is based on confidence, love, communication, true and happy moments and bad moments too, but the bad moments always pass when the friendship is true and after the bad days always come new and better things. It’s impossible a friendship without this these important things. How can we choose a friend? There’s no answer for this question, friendships just happen, can happen in the at school, parties, shows or anywhere and every time, friendships "are just born” when it is the right moment.
We can know if the person is a real friend when we see your his/her actions. A real friend will always help you when you need, the best time to discover if the person is your friend or not, is in the bad days, who isn’t your friend will go away and not help you, but your true friends will stay with you, every moment that you need.
The true friendship moves mountains just like the love, if the peoples are really friends, the distance is nothing. Nowadays there is are many ways to communicate with the people who lives far away and distance can’t be an impediment.
So let’s preserve and take carry off care of our friendships, they are valuable and are very important.

                         The pictures of Dorian Gray- Book Work

In the book “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, we can observe a commom wish that becomes reality and this wish holds Dorian Gray, a beautiful and rich man, that was 20 years old, in prison of himself. His wish was to be beautiful while his pictures grows old for him. The book begins with a friend of Dorian called Basil, the artist that delighted with the beauty of Mr. Gray .Then, he decides to draw his friend. When Dorian saw the picture he made a wish and with this wish he chose between two ways: to be beautiful and with this, he wouldn´t have a heart or to continue growing old but have a heart, feelings…Dorian Gray chose to be beautiful, i.e, not to have feelings for anyone and he had a tragic ending for being influenced by Henry Wotton, who made him think bad things. 
             Dorian Gray´s destiny was all consequence of his wish and also his bad attitudes; everybody that he killed just takes him to kill himself with the true. "The picture of  Dorian Gray" is a lesson for life; sometimes we give more attention to our outside appearance then to our attitudes. What we can understand with this book is that normally we do wrong things and there´s no way to  get out of it, but if you try to correct them, ask for help, don´t do it again we can leave the guiet.
            Whatever people do, one day they will have a return from the consequences even if they  are good or bad. For example when a person robs a bank; this is a bad thing but if this person asks for help and change  his/her life, he/she automatically changes his fate and future. Unfortunatelly, it is rarely. A proof of that is that more people make changes in their body and lie on the internet. In the book despite of Dorian Gray's Gray dirty past after he moved to  Basil´s city, he had the opportunity to be good and change the terrible things that he did but he refused it. Everyone has an opportunity to change his/her fate  and choose the best way to live. One of the main lessons is that  sometimes we have to be careful with the mirror because it only shows what´s on the outside of us and it doesn´t show what it´s in us.

    The Picture of Dorian Gray

Never be afraid of time is the most important lesson that we can have in the book “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. Time tells us the story of the book. With time Dorian Gray got crazy, he hurt Sybil Vane’s heart, killed Basil and destroyed Adon Compbell’s life.

Time destroyed Dorian’s life, because he thought that youth and beauty are more important than anything in the life, he forgot to think about his future and lived afraid of everything.

Dorian Gray thought that older people had no beauty and he wanted to be beautiful forever, to have a life worthy of the best things in the world, but he didn’t think that older people have more intelligence than the young people, because they live more and learn about things that young people don't know. Dorian Gray didn’t get older with time, he made a wish for himself that he wouldn't get older and the picture that Basil painted would get older for him, but the picture started to be old and evil, the picture showed Dorian’s soul. The people in the city told so many terrible stories about him, they thought that he was a gangster and an evil man.

Time wasn’t the only thing that changed Dorian’s head, also Lord Henry started saying bad thoughts to him about how to live his life.

Sybil Vane was the first love of Dorian Gray, she was the greatest representation of youth, she was pretty, a good actress and had a pretty voice. Sybil had a poor family with her mother and brother but she was a happy woman, her first love was Dorian Gray. He broke her heart saying that he didn't want to see her again. She thought that she couldn't live without him and with this she killed herself like Juliet in the novel she was acting, “Romeo and Juliet”.

Sybil Vane enchanted Dorian Gray with her youth and prettiness, she had a big love in her heart and Dorian Gray destroyed all of this.

I’m not afraid of getting old, I actually think that getting old is very good because you learn more about life, the problems, the people and not to worry about some things that might worry you. When you are young, in my opinion, it is the best part of life, because you spend your time with your family, friends, loved ones, you can make a difference in people’s life, trust in everything that they say and forgive when it is possible.

With age and time we can learn to solve and overcome our problems, getting responsibility. We learn to unlock the secrets of life.

Age teaches us to respect older people, make their lives more interesting and exciting, giving they the best end of life.

Time makes us think about some possibility for our future to be better than we thought, and time teaches us to wait, because in the future something good will happen.

The end.
