Strophe / Antistrophe
Blind Prophet Right
Strophe (15 points)
I agree with the statement. Oedipus Rex came to Thebes,
married HIS MOTHER, and brought a plague on the
people. Of course this is shameful. Accident or not he still
slept with his mom. Who would be proud to go to or come
from a place whose citizens had not only allowed this, but
encouraged it, a place where this happened and then the
Queen committed suicide and the King was exiled. It is
absolutely shameful, and it is shame that Oedipus bought
to these people. If he had stayed home then none of that
would have happened and the original King would most
likely still be alive. Sure you can say that he saved the
people from the plagues but who wouldn’t rather die from a
plague then die from shame.
Anti-Strophe (15 points)
I completely disagree with this statement. Oedipus is the
only reason the people of Thebes are still alive. During
his reign as king, Oedipus saved them from two
plagues. If he hadn’t have then they all would’ve died.
He showed up at a time when their King obviously
hadn’t helped them. He was strong enough to fight of
the original King and his entourage, and win. He may
have married his mother, but this was completely
unbeknownst to him. As far as he knew he was doing
every right. You know that he is a moral man because
he ran away from home so that he wouldn’t marry his
mother. If anything, Oedipus Rex brought honor to his
kingdom. He kept his promise of punishing the “culprit”
and he owned up to a mistake he didn’t even know he
made. That is not something to be ashamed of.

Jakiyah Redding Writes Exemplar Essay!
In an incredible celebration on the streets of Hampton Roads, star reporter Jakiyah Redding gathers her
fan base to share the winning of the Pulitzer Prize for this year’s Best in Essay Writing Category. The
topic was daring, and the writing followed all the proper formatting of good essay writing.
Said one stunned fan, who managed to squeeze through the huge midnight crowd to catch a glimpse of the
newest member of the Pulitzer winners. “I was so excited to be able to be in the same area as her. I mean
who else could so eloquently support body paragraphs with literary referencing, offering opinion which is
never unverified, but also backed up by the contents of the literature (10 points)”
Another fan – who cathartically choked up on tears during the interview – was impressed with the
outstanding hook that not only attracted the reader to delve into the writing, but also managed to maintain
a delicate balance of transitions (10 points).
And the winner is….

A third bystander, one who camped out on the grounds immediately upon hearing that the famed writer
may make a public appearance, respectfully disagreed with the two other fans. “I can appreciate these
items, but the genius is in the conclusion, which is not only broad and didactic, but analyzes as well as
summarizes. It shows – in one paragraph, mind you – the significance of all the paragraphs that come
before it (10 points). Who could not just want to live life just a little bit stronger after reading such
beautiful words?”

When considering the concept of hero, select a character studied thus far in all our readings that represents a hero, one
that represents the antithesis of a hero, and one that represents a dynamic character who possesses both heroic and unheroic attributes. Why is it important to have all three types present in literature?
When considering the concept of a hero it is quite hard to stop yourself from thinking of
Superman. Super strength, the ability to fly and X-ray vision seem to be the only requirement
of being considered a “hero”. However there are different points of view on exactly what a
hero is. One of them include the fact the no one is a hero by force. There is a choice to help
someone, to save them, to be their guide or role model. These choices are a result of some
form of goodness. The best kind just may be the sweet innocent kind of goodness that would
help anyone under any circumstances. When I think of that type of innocence, I think of
Piggy, the little fat boy from the book Lord of the Flies. Piggy may have lacked that sense of
bravado that many super heroes carry, but he was a hero anyway. He was

objections by some to this singular use, it is common in standard English:

WWCC Sports Round UP
Sweden progressed to the gold medal game after winning
the 1v2 Page Play-off.
After blanking the first end, Sweden opened the scoring with a hit to score two points in the second
end. The teams then swapped singles all the way to the seventh end. In the eighth end, with Sweden
leading by 4-3, Muirhead drew nicely onto the button with her second stone and, in trying to winkle it
out, Sweden's fourth player Maria Prytz wrecked on a front guard, giving Scotland a steal of two and
the lead for the first time in the game, at 5-4.
Sweden blanked the ninth end to retain last stone advantage in the tenth. The Scots seemed to have
that end under control until Muirhead had a pick-up with her first stone, which gave Sweden a chance.
Even at that, Muirhead played a near-perfect freeze with her last, but Prytz was able to tap it out, as
Sweden scored three for their win.
After the game Swedish skip and lead player Margaretha Sigfridsson, said, "that was a fantastic game
and it feels so good to win. It was only the eighth end that was not so good from our side. It was so
close, we touched so many guards in that end and Eve got to steal two. But we thought we still had a
good chance to win the game and we thought it was so our game."
