The correct answer is C: Antigone's action shows that she can break the rules for her principles, revealing that women are as capable as men. Facing Creon's tyrannical decision to leave their brother's corpse unburied, Isemene and Antigone have completely different reactions. Ismene feels that, as a woman, she cannot do anything; men rule, and her duty is to obey. Antigone, on the other hand, puts her duty to her brother above obedience to the law and rebels against Creon. She thus asserts her independence as a human being and goes beyond what her society would say is "appropiate" for a woman.

1. How would you describe the tone and purpose of these excerpts from McNeil's oral history?

Setler [38]

Answer:

the tone used in McNeil's oral history is confessional and the purpose seems to be that by making simple, humble statements the narrator is able to present his own morality and his struggles in statements and not as pleadings.

Explanation:

these excerpts are from a narrator who comes from a marginalized community engaging in a protest against the government. this kind of oration is known as deceptively simple.

on the surface, the text seems uninviting and simplistic. but the layer of rebellion is subdued by the matter of factly tone to become more of a defiance to which the common person can easily identify and sympathize with. It also shows the strength of the narrator by not betraying their emotions to the reader.

Ethics - Ethos, Emotions - Pathos and Logic - Logos
Ethos - Frederick Douglas is quoted as saying after the slaves were freed, an attempt to convince the jury of the credibility of the speaker and quotation or reference.
Pathos - We hope we can do that here. We are trying to strive for the ideal of equality.
Logos - In the "composite society" in which we live, there should be no differentiation among the classes. We are responsible for making the appropriate decision based on our own multi-cultural backgrounds.
