Answer:
To show that Creon was not right about his judgment of Antigone, Haimon told the story of a captain who was wrong even when he was doing the right thing.
Explanation:
Haimon did not agree with Creon's judgment on Antigone, although Creon was sure he was correct. For this reason Haimon cited a story as a wise and delicate argument to get Creon to reflect on his actions and thoughts about Antigone.
Haimon quoted the story about a captain who left the sails and stretched, because he knew this was the right thing to do and was sure he was doing good to his ship and his crew. However, the ship was tipped over by the wind and the sea, showing that the captain's certainty about the sails was incorrect in preventing the ship from tipping over. With that, Haimon is telling Creon that everyone can make mistakes inside things he believes are correct, so he should reassess the judgment that Antigone was receiving.
"I will study past midnight" stands alone as a sentence.
Any words linked to transition words (ex. because she wanted to go home, so I went to the mall) are considered dependent.

Answer:
<em>The importance of being Earnest</em> is a masterpiece that talks in a funny and sarcastic way about society.
Explanation:
The characters are mainly from the victorian upper class which results to be satiric itself since in the story the author makes jokes about those characters. The author normally exalts the characteristics of frivolity, greed and thirst for power and money of the characters in the play but does so in a general way in a mocking way in order to show how these bad ways can have different meanings depending on the point of view in which these can be analyzed. for example in the excerpt utter by Lady Bracknell:
“To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”
It is possible to appreciate how the author intends to show the misfortune of the person whose parents died, not the parents itself, this results to be a sarcastic way to say that the person is the guilty one of the bad things that occur around.
