Antigone; the girl who died tragically thus making it a beloved story.

THE ANTIGONE STORY

First I'd like to share my thoughts in this story. Everybody died. The prophecy got one thing right about her family that they will die. Something that is inevitable because fate has been foretold. No other than the wonderful blind prophet Teiresias. Thank you Teiresias for killing them. And thank you Sophocoles for being a great man who writes about people's sufferings and their tragic deaths. 

The summary:
Antigone who is probably pretty. She and her adorable little sister name Ismene decided to go to Thebes. With the intention of changing their family's fate.
 There is a prophecy that says that Antigone's brothers; Eteocles and Polyneices will fight to death for the throne of Thebes. But! Plot twist! When Antigone arrives in Thebes, She found out that her brothers are dead. 
She soon learns that Polyneices is not allowed to have a proper burial or any of that sort. 
Meanwhile Eteocles has been given a proper burial. So Antigone risk her life to give her brother a proper burial. She defiles the law!! The law that has been given by her Uncle Creon. Who is now the new king of Thebes, the one who also sits on the throne. 
He made a verdict stating that Polynieces cannot have a burial. But Antigone went ahead and buried her brother. But Antigone's plan wasn't bulletproof so she got caught red handed. She was sent to the dungeon/prison.
 While she was in prison Creon's son, Antigone's fiance; Haemon, and the chorus pleaded to Creon to let her go.
 Soon Creon relents and went down to get Antigone and free her. But they were all too late. Antigone had taken her own life. They have found her dead so in such despair Creon's wife and Haemon have also taken their lives. Now Creon with such power of being on the throne comes with a price , the life of his family. Creon is left alone and suffers his loss in sorrow and agony.

Highlights of a roller coaster


Well This year was a hell of ups and downs. Makes me think more that 2015 is indeed beautiful of how it was roller coaster ride to me. By the way, you should know I am afraid of roller coasters. Which totally makes it more something. So here it goes.....

I cannot forget the last moments of 9th grade where we had prom, recital, Christmas party, moving up, and especially the last few days of school. There is nothing better than hearing students like me get all cranky and anxious about summer. Nobody can sit still in a chair knowing summer is reachable to their grasp, NO ONE. You just want to jump from your chair and do a high school musical dance number. Eventually I got my summer vacation where I went to a summer dance thing. I'll never forget that. The embarrassment and humiliation I got. And I will never show my face ever anyway I have no face left to show! 

Another summer thing that was super special to me is that I bought myself my own guitar that does not suck (sorry to my old guitar!). That guy, my new guitar, was special because I bought him with my own money. Can you believe that!?

Moving on to the part where school started. It was great because everything was new and at the same time everything was not. You know what I mean. So as days pass in the new yet not new school, It was awesome. A Lot of Hi my name is Blah Blah and my favorite animal is BLAH BLAH and a lot more BLAH BLAH.

Another thing that happen this year when me and my friends started going to Victory; a place where to grow and grow. A place where frowns are left at the door. A place where being open to your feelings are okay.

And now this year has come to an end. I can hear my favorite artists singing their songs in the background. I hope my emotions go through a better path this 2016. Last year my emotions went through a roller coaster. Sooo bye roller coaster! hello to 2016 hoping 2016 is not an amusement ride but better. soooo farewell !!!!!! DFTBA
