Excerpt from: Basketball Blues Raquel Lindell 2Jillian sat on her bedroom floor organizing notebooks, folders, and textbooks. Sh

e had designated a color to each class—yellow for Accelerated Geometry, green for Chemistry I, orange for American Government, and so on. Jillian always joked that she was only good at two things: organization and basketball. Jillian's mother even teased her daughter about the military precision with which she performed everyday tasks such as making her bed and ironing her clothes. "A place for everything and everything in its place," Jillian always said. In her bedroom, that meant books on the bookshelf, clothes in the closet, and blankets neatly tucked beneath the corners of her mattress. On the basketball court, that meant Jillian poised to make a free throw or a three-pointer at the buzzer. 3Jillian glanced at the clock and realized that she would have to hurry to meet her best friend, Vanessa, at the park. She stacked the rainbow of books on her desk and grabbed her sneakers. Suddenly, a light bulb above Jillian flickered a few times and went dark. Jillian checked the clock again and decided that she had to time to change the bulb before she left. She grabbed a new bulb and rolled her desk chair under the light. Based on the passage, which MOST LIKELY explains why Jillian stopped to change the light bulb before meeting her friend? A) Jillian was in a hurry to meet her friend, Vanessa, at the park. B) Jillian knew it would be dark when she returned home from the game. C) Jillian was very particular about the condition and care of her things. D) Jillian did not want to ignore the task and disappoint her demanding mother.

The kind of man Creon is respectful but not afraid to make mistakes. What this reveals about his character is that he knows all men make mistakes but he knows that we all learn from our mistakes. He is telling men/people to do what they want but will eventually learn what is right. He is also saying that wise men will likely pick the right choice first but make mistakes that they will learn from also.
