The opening scene in <em>Antigone</em> between Antigone and Ismene sparks the play's action (A.) by revealing Antigone's plan of burying her brother against the king's orders.

Sophocles' play<em> Antigone </em>starts with a dialogue between Antigone and her sister Ismene, where<u> Antigone tells her that she is determined to bury Polynices</u>, their brother, despite Creon's orders<u>. Ismene tells her sister that she will not help her to bury him and tries to convince Antigone to respect the law because</u> Creon had ordered to condemn to death to anyone that dared to bury Polynices since he had been a 'traitor'. Therefore, while Ismene is submissive to the king, <u>Antigone decides to break the law and pay obedience to a higher religious law instead</u>.

victus00 [196]

The repetition of the word “whirl” creates a sense of  "intensity".

"Oread", one of Hilda Doolittle’s best-known lyrics, which was first distributed in the issue of BLAST in 1914, serves to outline this early style well. The title Oread was included after the piece was first composed, to propose that a nymph was ordering up the ocean. Here is the short poem, (One of my favorites);

Whirl up, sea—  

whirl your pointed pines,  

splash your great pines  

on our rocks,  

hurl your green over us,  

cover us with your pools of fir.

Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

One day I went to the store

I bought sugar and a pinwheel

With money from my mom.

On another day I was walking

And a car had some weird exhaust-

It smelled like lavender.

The calendar said there would be mist,

So maybe it was that instead.

I have faith that you will figure it out.
