City College Greek Mythology Antigone Discussion
I’m working on a Philosophy question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Write a post on one of the topics below. Whichever topic you choose, you must write your post based on just ONE SCENE. You have numbered the scenes of the play. Start your post by writing in the Subject line the topic AND the scene. Like this: Women, scene 2.
Use the line numbers to cite the parts of the text you are discussing. In your post, quote the expressions or sentences that are your evidence, weaving them into your text.
Your task is to focus on a small section, ideally, an exchange between two characters, where their back-and-forth reveals something about how they think, how they feel. You can also collect statements by characters and reflect on them. In any case, make sure all your evidence comes from a single scene.
No need for general introduction etc. — cut to the chase, focus on the topic you chose, explain the conversation. You can even go line-by-line, explain the implications of what they say. Go slow.
Topics:
1., Women — how characters talk about women, their role, the threat or challenge women might mean to mean. Do not generalize about what you think: focus on what they say.
2., Government — how characters talk about how a city should be ruled.
3., Family — how characters talk about family ties.
400 words, no more then 700.
