Antigone+Paper

= Antigone Court  = = The class has been divided into two groups with one group serving as the 'prosecution' and the other as the 'defense'. You were given a paper in class to determine which group you are a part of for this assignment. Remember, 150 words, TIMES NEW ROMAN font, and double space of course. Be very, very careful with silly spelling errors or comma errors because tomorrow, someone from this class is going to write a paper about what kind of writer you are based on your essay. =  Group One YOU have been assigned the duty of defending ANTIGONE For this assignment, you will need to write a 150 word paragraph defending your client Antigone. Right now, she is in serious trouble for burying her brother and as her lawyer, you will have to portray her in the most positive light you can. Explain the very good reasons she ‘broke’ the law and make sure you slant your writing to really build sympathy for your client. Use a lot of adjectives and descriptive words that make her sound innocent. Plead with the jury to see this case as something different than a blatant disrespect for authority. Remember, this is a death penalty case so write well; her life depends on you. Group Two YOU have been assigned the duty of prosecuting ANTIGONE For this assignment, you will need to write a 150 word paragraph defending the state’s desire to punish Antigone. Right now, she is in serious trouble for burying her brother against Creon’s law against giving final rights to the despicable enemy. As her lawyer, you will have to portray her in the most negative light you can. Explain the very good reasons for this law, give the circumstances of the time and draw attention to how she willingly ‘broke’ the law. Make sure you slant your writing to really build hatred for this enemy of the state. Use a lot of adjectives and descriptive words that make the jury realize how dangerous people like that are when we are trying to restore order in a city. Plead with the jury to see past this case for what it really is: A blatant attack on the state, our king, and the people of Thebes. Remember, the results of this case will definitely effect the way people will view the state and king after the trial.
