Read the excerpt from the text of antigone. then, in one well-developed paragraph, make inferences about what kind of woman antigone is. explain how her words reveal her character. use evidence from the excerpt to support your answer. then, in a second well-developed paragraph, state the theme and explain how antigone—and her words in this excerpt— develop the theme of the play. use evidence from the excerpt to support your answer. creon [to antigone]: tell me, tell me briefly: had you heard my proclamation touching this matter? antigone: it was public. could i hearing it? creon: and yet you dared defy the law. antigone: i dared. it was not god’s proclamation. that final justice that rules the world below makes no such laws. your edict, king, was strong, but all your strength is weakness itself against the immortal unrecorded laws of god. they are not merely now: they were, and shall be, operative forever, beyond man utterly. i knew i must die, even without your decree: i am only mortal. and if i must die now, before it is my time to die, surely this is no hardship: can anyone living, as i live, with evil all about me, think death less than a friend? this death of mine is of no importance; but if i had left my brother lying in death unburied, i should have suffered. now i do not. you smile at me. ah creon, think me a fool, if you like; but it may well be that a fool convicts me of folly.

The best answer for this would be:

The excerpt revolves around the theme of justice and respect to one’s family. The evidence of the excerpt explains that Antigone had defied Cree’s wishes in order for her to able to honor her deceased brother. This kind of act shows how much she respects her brother, which she demands for his funeral rights.

Sample Response: It was important to include first- person point of view so that the reader could learn more about how Claudette felt about being arrested. For example, by including two points of view, the reader learns how Claudette felt after being arrested. The reader also learns what her mother was doing while Claudette was in jail.

jefferson introduced the idea that one does not change a government for "light" causes because he wanted to emphasize the seriousness of colonists' reasons for declaring independence.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
