Write a letter as if you are a foreign exchange student living in America. Pretend you are writing to your family in your homela

nd and you must explain an American custom they know nothing at all about.
To write a convincing letter, you must examine the American custom through the eyes of an outsider. What may seem perfectly natural and logical to us may seem silly to someone from a foreign country.

Think about what foreign students must think when they are first confronted with American children dressing in rags and outlandish costumes, going out knocking on doors begging for candy, and threatening to pull a trick on the people who have no candy for them. Or what about American customs at Christmas and Thanksgiving?

Your letter must be a minimum of three paragraphs containing 5-7 sentences each.

Sometimes the people that frustrate us the most actually share the same characteristics. In this lesson, we will analyze the characters Antigone and Creon, focusing on their similarities and how these traits cause conflict in the play.Why Can't We Be Friends?

Have you ever struggled to get along with someone, and you couldn't figure out why? Sometimes people can be so similar that it ends up harming instead of helping their relationship. In the play Antigone by Sophocles, we meet two characters so similar they willingly fight to the death because of their personalities and beliefs. To provide some context for the comparisons in this lesson, let's review the conflicts of the play that the characters Antigone and Creon face.

Character Conflicts

Antigone's father exiled himself from Thebes, leaving her brothers Polyneices and Eteocles to share the throne. When Eteocles refuses to give up his time in power, Polyneices is forced to leave the city. He returns years later with an army, but unfortunately, both brothers die in battle, leaving Antigone and her sister Ismene to fend for themselves.

The next male in line to take the throne is their Uncle Creon. Creon's first order names Polyneices a traitor and prohibits a proper burial. Anyone that buries the body shall be punished by death. The thought of Polyneices' body rotting in a field pushes Antigone over the edge. She goes against Creon's orders and buries her brother, leaving Creon with a difficult choice to make.

Should Creon punish Antigone and make himself look weak in his new role as king? Or should he do right by his family and remove the charge? Not to mention Antigone is engaged to Creon's son Haemon. Let's look at their similarities and differences and determine how their personalities affect the outcome of the play.

Similarities and DifferencesFighting for Justice

Even though Antigone and Creon are fighting for different reasons, they both feel deeply and passionately that their reasons are justified. While this difference in opinion causes conflict and death, it binds them together as two very determined individuals who are confident, maybe too much so, in their own beliefs.

Pride

Creon and Antigone are set in their ways, and their pride brings about their downfalls. Antigone refuses to acknowledge that she broke the law and would rather die than apologize or acknowledge her wrongdoing. Creon is the same way. He would rather kill a family member and ruin his son's future to stay true to his word and keep command over the people before he would admit defeat and misjudgment. Their pride manifests in different ways, but this stubbornness plays a negative role in both of their lives.

Loyalty

Antigone is loyal to her brother, promising him a proper burial at all costs. She risks her life to fulfill his wishes, remaining loyal to both her culture and the gods with this act. Creon feels his actions reveal his loyalty to Thebes. Antigone's brother fought against Thebes, which makes Creon feel his punishment is just. Going against one's home is a big no-no in Greek culture, so he also feels his action of denying the burial is honorable. While these two characters are on opposite ends of the spectrum regarding their reasons for being loyal, this trait is the reason for their conflict.

Which sentence refers to the reality of Farquhar ‘s situation in the dream sequence in section 3 of “An occurrence at Owl Creek
Vika [28.1K]
In Ambrose Bierce's short story, "An Event at Owl River Scaffold," Peyton Farquhar is a mainstay of the American South, which, amid the period being referred to, the Common War, can be generally meant mean a well off, upstanding native of the Alliance, and an adversary of the abolitionist development. At a very early stage in his story, Bierce gives the accompanying depiction of his hero who, in the story's opening sections, is going to be executed by hanging:  

"The man who was occupied with being hanged was evidently around thirty-five years old. He was a non military personnel, on the off chance that one may judge from his propensity, which was that of a grower. . .Obviously this was no obscene professional killer." 

Bierce goes ahead to develop his depiction of Peyton Farquhar, taking note of that this figure "was a well to do grower, of an old and exceedingly regarded Alabama family," and that, being "a slave proprietor and like other slave proprietors a legislator, he was normally a unique secessionist and vigorously committed toward the Southern reason." Bierce takes note of that Farquhar imagined himself at one point as an officer in the reason for the Alliance, however one whose military interests were hindered for reasons that are incidental to the account. 

In area II of his story, Bierce gives foundation to clarify Farquhar's difficulty as referenced in the account's opening sections, portraying the primary hero's experience with a dark clad trooper, probably a Confederate warrior battling on an indistinguishable side of this contention from that to which Farquhar's sensitivities lie. It is soon uncovered, be that as it may, that this dim clad trooper is with the Association and has basically set-up the well-to-do southerner as an assumed saboteur. The "Government scout" does this by planting in the psyche of Farquhar the proposal of setting flame to the Owl Brook connect, a key structure vital to the development of Association troops as they progress over the South: 

The fighter reflected. "I was there a month prior," he answered. "I watched that the surge of the previous winter had stopped an incredible amount of driftwood against the wooden dock at this finish of the extension. It is presently dry and would consume like tinder." 

<span>The response to the inquiry - why was Peyton Farquhar hanged - lies in this recommendation negatively offered by the Government spy. Farquhar takes the draw, as it were, and endeavors to cut off the tie to keep its misuse by northern troopers.</span>
