Character

My character-Kaia Zonneveld. a single white female in her 20s who lives alone. She has just moved to this town and is not very open or trust willing. She has no friends now, and knows nobody. She owns the town zoo and talks to her all her animals. Loves her job and has a stong passion for all animals. She walks her golden lab every morning and night. My chacater has moved her to possibly try to start her life with a 'clean slate'

MLK

What's the big deal about MLK? Martin Luther King Jr. was very much indeed a big deal. So much that one can easily recognize the time period and what he stood for by just hearing his name. Someone as small as a 1st or 2nd grader. MLK was far more than a leader, more than just a man who 'had a dream.' He was an inspiration, a hero, a brilliant man, brave, strong, a man who stated and stood for his beliefs for what he felt strongly about. Not only for himself but for his race, for other races, for our country, for the world. I find it quite difficult to put all my thoughts about him and his actions. He's a hard to understand why he did what he did. Or how someone could obtain that much strength and courage. Then i just have to ask myself did he ask himself the same question? I'm sure he did and I'm sure he was scared at some point, but that's what made him so powerful. He got his a lot of his power from his decision to put his fear behind. Tell himself that his actions might take his life, but all in all and the end conclusion would be for the better. His actions would be for the greater good. MLK put all his fear, and second guesses behind me and stood up with non-violent actions even when others prevailed with violence. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man that represented a symbol. A symbol of peace, power, and courage. A symbol that has lived for years and will continue to live on for decades.

oedipus rex

Part II

1.) "Poor children ! You may be sure I know all tahts you longed hat you are deathly sick; and yet, sick as you, not on is as sick as I. Each of you suffers in himself alone his anguish, not another's; but my sprit groans for the city, for myslef, for you." pg. 962 line#60-66

"Then once more I must bring what is dark to light. It is most fitting that Apollo shows, as you do, thus compunction for the daed. I shall seee how I stand by ou, as i should, to avenge the city an the city's god, and not as though it were for some distant friend, but for my own sake, to be rid of evil. Whoever killed King Laios might-who knows?-Decide at any moment to kill me as well. By avenfing the murdered king I protect myself.

2.) The external conflict is oedipus not knowing that he killed king laios, who is his father.
3.)Imagery gives the audience pictures and visual ideas of the conflict at thebes.
4.) Dramatic irony, tragedy, fate
5.)Although i skimmed over the chorus parts i think they're singing about their city and the difficulties and struggles they've been facing and having to deal with. Also hoping for something to happen to get rid of the curse or bad fortune that is come unpon this city since the kings death.

Part III
1.)Page 969, Lines 113-115
Page 969 lines 101-103
2.)The external conflict is the whole fact that Oedipus is the murderer , but says to punish the murderer whoever it may be. Also Teiresias discovers that Oedipus is the murderer which resolves in more conflict and argument.
3.)Page 970, Line 146
Page 970, Line 164
4.)The biggest and most obvious example of dramtic irony is that the reader/audiance knows that Oedipus is the murderer, but his character doesn't have any idea, at least not yet.
5.)Teiresias seems to be picking up on things and putting pieces of this puzzle together.
6.)The chorus now sings about the punishment of the murderer, and the fact that the guilt will stick with him and he shall receive his punishment because he can't escape it.
