Antigone = Antege

We are done with the play Antigone. Now we are starting our new project based on this play. We have to modernize it, choose a different period of time and different place. Mine is going to be in the year 2003, when the war in Iraq started it. Antigone will be Antege, Creon will be the military commander carlos. Antigone's brother will be one of the soldiers and chorus will be charlie. The soldiers will gather a several suspected civilians and the commander will order the soldiers to shoot the civilains. Then that soldier wh plays Antigone's brother will refuse to take his gone and shoot Instead he aimed at the commander ordering him to stop. then another soldier come from behind him and shoot him. So then Antigone refuses to leave with the other soldiers she stayed next to him and she want to the commander asking him to send his body to his family but he refuses, so she starts to break the roles and disrespect the commander so he puts her in prison.

Decision and consequences

                         
                                 "Tough decisions usually have big consequences"

I agree with this statement tough decision have big consequences. Every step you make in your life has either a positive or negative consequences behind it. For example the play were reading in class Antigone. It's about that girl who decided to bury her brother and breaking the king's law that say anyone who bury this traitor will die. So she decide to break that law and accept the consequences for what she did. she chose to do that because she didn't want to leave her brother unburied for the bird and dogs to flesh him. she was brave, strong and fearless even when they caught her burying him she confessed right away.


For my life I had not made  so many decisions that I regret. this when happen in almost every culminating unit project. when I finish doing the writing part I don't revise it. I feel mad tired and bored to do that last step. the consequence is that I never got a 4 for spelling and grammar and that's affect my grade for being lazy to do that last step and I feel mad bad.
