- Compare/Contrast Essay due Tuesday. Feel free to type, but not necessary.
I was going to make this due tomorrow, however, it's clear from grading your first essay (Antigone's choice vs. Ismene's) that some of you have not read. I think you should use this long weekend wisely. - Anyone who'd like to get an early start on Hamlet, I have the books. Annotations will be graded in the same manner as Sophocles.
- This is our blog. I'll be updating daily from now on. Feel free to comment.
Homework Due Friday 8/29
- Vocabulary: Synonyms and Antononyms, Choosing the Right Word
- Compare/Contrast paper due Monday
- Read Nonfiction Article "Oedipus Bronx"

Ok. Ms. Miller. Wut if I made a thesis out of this . . .
I. Oedipus made decisions because he wanted 2 keep order & Creon made decisions for personal & unjust reasons.
A) Oedipus wanted to find Laios's killer & made the law (consequences) for who ever killed Laios or knew who killed Laios.
B) Creon didn't want Polyneices's body covered because Creon thought he wasn't loyal.
C) Creon wanted 2 kill Antigone because she went against the law & he thought that was unloyal.
(& I have to find another example for Oedipus)
This seems like a weak thesis to me, but do you think?
