LITERATURE ANALYSIS #1

This book is called Trouble Times Ten the author is David Lamber. This book is fiction and based in Egypt. There is this one kid named Ben every other kid would pick on him and would use other animals to scare him with. One time they were scaring him of water cause they knew he was scared of water, a lot. He was scared of the other kids as well that why he never did something bad. When one of the kids went to the ocean somehow he got to the middle of it and from there he was drowing and ben had this gift that the god gave him. All of a sudden her goes into the ocean and gets the other kid and he goes to the the beach. 
From there the kid's dad was so proud of Ben and he was thanking Ben for what he just did. In my opinion the author is trying to prove us to not pick on people , cause they could end up doing something better than you. This book is pretty good to read because it shows good and bad things like every book obviously. I learn that small things could end up being big in someway.(116pg) 

Antigone and Creon Essay final



In Antigone by Sophodes is a bit of messed up. Creon thinks Antigone is doing the wrong thing of burying her brother. Conflicts between the characters are the results of battle their similarity and their difference.

Antigone is different than Creon because Antigone is loyal to the family. Also that would be nice for her family. A quote for Antigone is that she says “this crime is holy.”(2.59). This means she is brave. Also she is caring for her brother. Also loyal to the gods. In scene 1 Antigone got blamed for burying her brother. Antigone got blamed because his body supposed to be there and not buried. In the other hand Creon is loyal to the states. Creon says “And death it is, yet money talks and the wisest. Have sometimes been known to count a few coins too many.”(1.62). This quote means money over everything. He is not loyal to family. In scene 3, Creon says all this things about no woman shall seduce us. He’s thinking that men have to stand out more. There are many difference between them.

The similarities between Antigone and Creon are that they are both prideful. Antigone says “I do, I deny nothing.”(1.69). This demonstrates pride because she saying the truth and not afraid. The   paraphrase is that she is not scared and she is brave. She will do anything that is the right thing for her. In the other hand Creon says “and yet you dared defy the law.”(2.64). This shows that Creon is prideful because, Creon is honest and expects to get the truth as well and Creon is not scared by saying “dared to defy the  law.” Those are the similarity for them.

Antigone don’t deserve to be punished for nothing, she was just burying her brother. Although Creon should get punished for not letting go, of Antigone burying her brother. Although she is not scared of getting blame for a “crime of holy.” The outcome of the play was alright. It was true because no one gets blame for a crime like that.
