Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes." Antigone and Ismene heard with horror what Creon had decided. To Ismene, shoc

king as it was, overwhelming her with anguish for the pitiful dead body and the lonely, homeless soul, it seemed, nevertheless, that nothing could be done except to acquiesce [to accept without protest]. She and Antigone were utterly alone. All Thebes was exulting that the man who had brought war upon them should be thus terribly punished. "We are women," she told her sister. "We must obey. We have no strength to defy the State." Which archetype does Ismene best represent? the villain the heroine the warrior the coward

The answer is: the coward.

In the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes," Ismene is portrayed as the opposite of her sister Antigone, who is the heroine of the story. She is afraid to disobey Creon's order not to give burial to her brother Polyneices, and believes women should not withstand the commandments of powerful men.

Why do you think both Wiesel and Annan speak of the importance of truth and personal responsibility?
Kipish [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Elie Wiesel was a 15-year-old boy during the Holocaust. His humanity shines as he bears witness to the tragedy that happens to the Jewish race at the Nazis' hands. Wiesel was a Jew whose home town of Sighet was occupied by the Hungarians during the second world war. He told his story about how he has been treated brutally by the hands of the Nazis. Speaking the truth, which shaken him emotionally, means everything to him. Night novel is a whole experience of Elie Wiesel in which minor details are also being written. The traumatic experience of Elie can shake the soul of anybody.  

Annan is also held responsible for telling the truth. He spoke about genocide over passively. In his book Interventions: A Life in War and Peace, Annan argued that the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations could have made better use of the media to raise awareness of Rwanda's violence and put pressure on governments to provide the armed force which is necessary for an intrusion. He never compromised when there is time to speak the truth and taking responsibility.

Read this short speech. Patriotism is often taught through school routines. Young Americans may stand to say, “I Pledge allegian
lara [203]

A. Recall a familiar text.

An allusion is a reference to another published work. In this case, the allusion is to the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead of the just saying the name of the text, the author alludes to it by quoting the first line. For readers who know the Pledge of Allegiance this may spark in them a sense of patriotism as they may then recite the entire pledge. The reader uses this allusion to further the point about patriotism as a routine taught in schools.
