The Monkey

If I had three wishes they would be: 1.) to find a cure for cancer because no one deserves to have a limit on their life they should be able to see what they want to see around the world, 2.) to not have anyone hate me based on what others say because it is just something asinine for anyone to do, 3.) to be able to help my mom through anything because she has done so much for me throughout my entire life and I believe it is only fair if I give her the same support she gave me.

No, I am not superstitious about anything, because i think it's stupid believing something that will most likely end up being false or made up by someone else who was out of their mind and told someone else and that person was so gullible to them.

Antigone Compare and Contrast Essay

In this tragic story called Antigone, written by Sophocles, we all know the main character ends up losing someone they love, whether the expect it or not. In this story some will break the rules, get punished, and lose their loved ones. Creon gets a warning from a blind prophet, whom never lies, but refuses to listen to him.Since the beginning Creon should have listened to the prophet, but once he decides to, it's already too late.

Both Antigone and Creon have differences, one of them is who they are loyal to. Antigone is loyal to her family, she argues, "... But I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down with him in  death, and I shall be as dear to him as he to me." (Prologue lines 57-60 page 816) As loyal as Antigone is to her family, she is to the gods as well, "... It was not God's proclamation that final Justice that rules the world below makes no such law." In Scene 2 Antigone tells Creon that he has no right with making laws since he isn't God. She also tells Creon that she agrees with him on she herself dying. On the other hand Creon is loyal to the state, " And yet you dared defy the law." (page 783 line 64) Creon defends the rules and the state as if he created them with his bare hands. He also finds it stupid that she would break the law when he clearly stated them himself. Creon isn't as loyal to his family, as he is with the laws and state, "... It is hard to give in! but it is worst to risk everything for stubborn pride."(Page 802 lines 99 and 100) In Scene 5 Creon is proving that he is willing to risk anything, including his family, just to keep himself fine. He is acting as if nothing besides him and his image mattered.

Just as Antigone and Creon have differences they also have some similarities. "I do. I deny nothing."(page 783 line 59) After Antigone says this it shows arrogance because she says it like it doesn't matter to anyone. So what Antigone is proving is that it doesn't matter if she gets killed for properly burying her brother's corpse. " No; death will do that for me."(line 180 page 786) This shows arrogance because Creon is proving that he means too much to kill Antigone himself, as she will suffer and die on her own, because death will take her.

In conclusion Creon deserves most of the blame because he didn't care about anyone but himself. Although he did provide a home, clothing, money, and food for his family, he did nothing else. If anyone of his family members got hurt, he wouldn't care, unless they died. Antigone doesn't really deserve to get blamed for anything except for breaking the 'rules'. But at least she will be happy with her brother.
