Introduce Yourself as an Archetype : (25-50 words.)
Introduce Yourself as a Reflective Revisionist (What has revising your writing taught you?) (25-50 words)
Hello, my name is Kaycie Ludwig and I am a hero. I don’t think that to be a hero you necessarily have to be “super”. I think that anyone can be a hero. I am a hero to my little brother when I do something for him, such as getting one of his toys off of the top shelf.
Revising my writing has taught me that you can always improve and become better at something. Also, it has that it is okay to criticize yourself sometimes, because you usually end up becoming better at whatever you are criticizing yourself about.

Gilgamesh Laments Friend’s Death
Did U Know
Guilt Cultures
In guilt culture, there are set laws to follow and if you break one of them and you don’t get in trouble, you will have to carry that burden of guilt with you.
The guilt never goes away. If you kill someone and you go to jail, you will most likely remain guilty for the rest of your life.
Shame Cultures
In a shame culture, the law may not be written such as in Oedipus Rex, but the community shames you for it.
In this culture, the shame will eventually or most likely go away, unlike a guilt culture. The person may not necessarily feel bad for what he or she did but the community will treat them differently.

3. 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)
Oedipus Rex is a killer. In his own epic, he kills his father for being in his way and he also marries his mother. He is a disgusting man, if you could even call him that. He certainly did deserve to be banished from the community, as well as gouging his own eyes out. No mercy should be given, he said himself that whoever was the killer of the king that was causing the plague should be punished. After finding out that he was the killer himself, he completely deserved to be banished.
Anti-Strophe (15 points)
Oedipus Rex did not know what he was doing, I understand the shame that he would feel after marrying his own mother and killing his father, but he should definitely have been given mercy. Oedipus did not know what he was doing throughout the whole epic, he did not know that his wife was his mother, or that the man he murdered was his father.
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 ( words each)

Kaycie Ludwig Writes Exemplar Essay!
In an incredible celebration on the streets of Hampton Roads, star reporter Kaycie Ludwig gathers his/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).
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?”
And the winner is….

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 Lord of the Flies, Jack rebukes Piggy for his seemingly stupid comments and suggestions. Everything that Piggy does has a purpose, he thinks about what he is doing before he carries out the action. However, Jack is the opposite. Jack does not like or want to be told what to do, he wants to do what he wants to do, and often acts without thinking. For example, he lets the fire go out whilst killing a pig, stating that food is more important than being rescued. Jack seems to quite like it on the island, the majority of his actions are not aimed at being rescued, but rather staying on the island. Piggy is the exact opposite. He does not particularly like the island, and wants to leave. He acts how he most likely would at home, very much with kindness, whereas Jack is very barbaric and animalistic with his actions. Jack believes that Piggy is hindering the boys from accomplishing tasks, so he kills him.

Origin: 1625–35 / Usage note: Errata is originally the plural of the singular Latin noun erratum. Like many such borrowed nouns (agenda; candelabra ), it came by the mid-17th century to be used as a singular noun, meaning “a list of errors or corrections to be made (in a book).” Despite 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 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." . RESULTS Session 20: Scotland 5, Sweden 7. Session 19: USA 7, Switzerland 4. Session 18: Russia 6, Switzerland 7.
