Strophe / Antistrophe Blind Prophet Right WORKING TITLE: OPTION ALPHA “King Oedipus Bids Farewell” OR OPTION OMEGA “Internal Affairs Takes on New Meaning” Blind Prophet Right Strophe / Antistrophe Strophe (15 points) I agree with this article because, a murder trial does need justice. In the case of Oedipus Rex there is no trial for the murder he committed. The concept of law is to bring justice to everyone. If the person who needs to be brought to justice gets to choose his own fate is that really justice? No it is not, because he could have easily picked the lesser of the two punishments for himself , where he might have given the worse of the two if was another man that killed the king. Anti-Strophe (15 points) I disagree with this article because when Oedipus realized what he had done he immediately punished himself. When he punished himself he even to the worse of the two punishments, exile. Exile meant he would never have a home again. He would never see his children grow up he would always remember what he did. He would have to live with the fact that he drove he wife/mother to suicide. Editor’s Note 5: Using the two small articles to the right, create a point (support for) and a counterpoint (argument against) the following statement. “Because Oedipus Rex is set up as a Murder Trial, the concept of Justice demands punishment, and there should be no mercy for Oedipus Rex.” Be sure to use strong arguments in both pieces, including literary referencing and not mix points. Treat each piece as individual articles. One-Three Paragraphs (50-100 words each)

Full Text! When considering two characters studied thus far in class, find the similarities and differences of the characters in the following categories: Ethics, Wisdom of Action, and Motivation. After viewing these categories would you say that the two characters share the same archetype? Why or why not? In the story The epic of Gilgamesh the main character Gilgamesh was trying to find eternal life. He was not a completely moral man nor was he smart. He asked of the god to give him eternal life. This was very rude because he was saying that he was just as good as any god which meant that he should have eternal life. This was not smart because he has now angered the gods and now they will try to seek vengeance on him. But none the less he was pointed to a diffident man who had been given eternal life after surviving a flood. This man told him of decorum. A flower that could give him eternal life. With bravado Gilgamesh went to retrieve this flower.

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." .
