I would say that the lines are:
"<span>By Zeus I swear, except ye find and bring
Before my presence here the very man
Who carried out this lawless burial,
Death for your punishment shall not suffice.

Hanged on a cross, alive ye first shall make
Confession of this outrage. This will teach you
What practices are like to serve your turn."

Creon not only forbids </span><span>Polyneices's burial, but reinforces this law (as well as his own legal authority) by taking a vow to severely punish anyone who has dared to break his law. Furthermore, he backs his position up with Zeus, to whom he vows. </span>

How’s does Taylor feel about exploring the woods at the beginning, middle and ending of the story? What causes her feelings to c
Mumz [18]

Explanation:

In the beginning of the story, Taylor is amazed of woods and nature. There is a little sadness as she looks at the tree because she knows, she won't see this tree as a whole again, since it has been split by lightning. However, in the middle of story, Taylor is more focused on the bird; she is afraid of the bird and its beak that could "rip the nose of her face", but still concerned about it and interested in it as well. At the end, she becomes lost and frightened, as she doesn't have the idea where she is.
