HELP ASAP!!! In the play Antigone, Creon sentences Antigone to be buried alive as punishment for breaking his edict and burying Polyneices. Antigone has one final moment before Creon and the people to speak about her fate. She could repent and beg forgiveness. She could offer words of consolation and peace to those who are grieving her fate. Or she could use the opportunity to further justify her actions. Before we read her speech, you are going to place yourself in Antigone’s shoes and compose a speech of your own.

Compose a final speech for Antigone as she is about to be led away to her untimely death. What do you think she should say to Creon? What message do you think she should give to the people of Thebes?

In Sophocles play, Antigone, tell us the fate of the main character by choosing what is morally right, or to follow the law of the state. In the play, Antigone brother, Polyneices dies in a war between him and his brother Eteocles. He was considered a traitor to the The ban people, and will not receive a proper burial ordered by the King, Kreon. Antigone believing that Kreon decree is unjust, took the matter into her own hands and buried her brother Polyneices. She is then taken to the king, defending her stance of burying her brother. She uses her speech in defense of her action. In her speech, she uses hints, expression, and peculiar sentence arrangement to make her argument more effective.

In support of Antigone argument, she appeals to the morals and emotion of the audiences. She starts off her speech by defending her action with hints to God. Which she uses this to appeal the Thebans beliefs by saying that Kreon laws don't agree with the ideas expressed by the Gods, meaning she does not have to abide by that law. In the text, she says, I did it. It wasn't Zeus who issued me this order. And Justice who lived below was not involved. They never condone it! (Antigone 718 Line 486-490). Antigone wanted to show the people that the gods would have wanted her brother Polyneices soul to pass on to the afterlife, even with a traitorous status. She also says that the will of gods is to be complete forever, no matter what man run man rules Thebes. She says Their laws are not ephemeral, they weren't made yesterday, and they will last forever (Antigone 718 Line 493-494).

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

Read this sentence from the interview. when i say that an actor is natural, i mean that he appears to act in accordance with his ideal, in accordance with his nature, and that he is not an imitator or a copyist—that he is not made up of shreds and patches taken from others, but that all he does flows from interior fountains and is consistent with his own nature, all having in a marked degree the highest characteristics of the man. how does the phrase "flows from interior fountains" affect the interview? a-it suggests that actors have more to give of themselves than other people do. b- it suggests that actors try their hardest to create believable characters. c- it suggests that actors include a part of their own essence in the roles they play. d- it suggests that actors have an abundance of emotions that they must release.
