<span>Ismene is fearful of breaking the law and facing death; however, she is not fearful of any punishment that may occur after death as a result of her disrespecting the gods. In addition to fear, she makes the argument that, because she is a woman, she should not be taking a stand against men.
</span><span>Ismene feels that human authority has more power than the gods; therefore, she will submit to Creon's decree forbidding the burial of her brother Polyneices. She plans to seek the forgiveness of the gods for her decision but does not seem to fear them. In addition to fearing Creon, she does not feel that she is strong enough to take a stand against the law. In contrast, Antigone does not fear human authority and chooses to follow the gods. Unlike her sister, she displays courage and strength.</span>

Answer:

The conflict the sisters are experiencing is ironically similar to the brothers' conflict. Both Antigone and Polyneices are loyal to themselves and the gods more than the king and his subjects. On the other hand, Ismene and Eteocles experience an overwhelming need for civil obedience. Both sibling pairs undergo stresses within their relationships due to conflicting perspectives.

Answer:

6th grade story from my life.

Explanation:

In 6th grade,I lived in Mansfield, Ohio. At school I met a girl named shyloh. We didn't talk a lot but talked to each other since she was the friend of one my other friend Quilana at the time. I thought she was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen on this earth and i became self conscious of myself around her. Me and my friend went to her house once and while Quilana was in the bathroom, I summed up the courage to tell Shyloh how i felt and she told me she felt the same way and kissed my cheek.

As we started talking more, i started to tell her "I love you". She would always say it back and i was always so happy and excited whenever i saw or thought of her. After a while, i started thinking about our relationship. I noticed that shyloh never told me she loved me. She would only ever say "I love you too. I brought it up to her and she said she was sorry. After that day it was almost like she didn't want to even be around me.

After school, we got on the bus and i sat next to her and asked her if she was okay and said yes. We sat in an awkward silence for a bit and I asked her "do you really love me?" She told me, "no i dont. i never did. I only wanted to be friends and when you told me how you felt i didnt want to risk losing you as someone that supports me." She eventually moved away to Indiana a few months after that and i never heard from her again.

I still like to pretend that she's here sometimes. It hurts to think about her sometimes but I hope she's doing good. If she does ever end up reading this then I MISS YOU.
