Read this letter written by a student to the principal of a school. Which two sentences support the student's argument concernin
g the school lunch policy? Dear Principal Corte, I write to you with a concern that requires immediate attention. It is my belief that the lunch period at Mountain Vista High School is not long enough and should be lengthened. The most important reason our lunch period should be extended is so all students have a chance to eat. As it stands now, many students are unable to get through the lunch line and eat. Even if lunchroom staff members are extremely efficient and able to get everyone through the line, some students end up with only a few minutes to eat. I have spoken with the school nurse about this issue, and she says that eating too quickly is a very unhealthy habit. Consequently, some students have become so frustrated with the long lines that they have resorted to patronizing the vending machines. Everyone knows that a candy bar and a can of soda is one of the unhealthiest lunches a person can have. If the lunch period is extended, all students will make it through the lunchroom line and will be able to eat their lunch in a healthy way. In addition, the lunch period should be extended because it would give students additional time to study or finish homework. Those of us who take part in after-school activities or have jobs often don’t get home until late in the evening. Then we are usually too exhausted to put our best effort into our homework. If we had more time at lunch, many of us would complete our homework with better accuracy. I truly hope that you take my arguments under consideration, Principal Corte. Please see the attached petition with almost 2,000 signatures of students who share my opinions about extending the lunch period. Take this petition as a sign that there are many of us who are not completely happy with our experience at Mountain Vista High School. Mountain Vista High School is important to me, and I believe that its students should get the best. Extend our lunch period, and you will definitely get the best from us. Sincerely, Alexis Walters

Creon: He is an archetypal villain because his announcement to bury Polyneices is the catalyst for the misfortune which composes the plot of the story. A stock character is an archetypal character whose purpose is to move the story along allowing the audience to quickly understand the character.
A tragic flaw: It´s a literary device that can be defined as a trait in a character, usually the hero, that leads him to downfall. This characteristic could be the lack of self-knowledge or judgment and, as the story here analyzed, the pride.
Ismene refuses to help her sister bury Polyneices: Ismene decides to go against the divine authority by not defending her family´s honor, but she obeys the human authorities because she´s more afraid of what they can do to her.
Squealer reads to the animals fake figures to make them feel better about their work and to confuse them from understanding why the crops are disappearing. He does this to hide the fact that the pigs are eating a majority of the food.
