Explanation:

In plays, rising action is what comes after the exposition (introduction) and before conflict - therefore, it presents us with characters and events that will take place in the conflict part of the play. Rising action shows us what happened that led to the conflict.

In Antigone, the protagonist decided to disobey Creon by burying her brother, which later on leads to the conflict for Creon: he has to decide whether he wants to help his relative, Antigone, or whether to uphold the law that he as a ruler made.

Antigone's decision to defy Creon's orders and bury her brother.

Explanation:

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )

hope i ! : )

can you elaborate on what the question asks?
