Reflective Practice In the beginning, there is not just one definition of reflective practice. After I read the three articles about reflective practice, I found that each one has different definition about reflective practice. The author in the first article says that "Reflective teaching means looking at what you do in the classroom, thinking about why you do it, and thinking about if it works - a process of self-observation and self-evaluation," (Tice, 2004). The second article says, " Reflective
In the story of Antigone, by Sophocles, Antigone’s uncle, King Creon, is a prideful, power-hungry, unyielding ruler who faces a serious dilemma, which becomes the central plot of the story. Antigone is sentenced to death for disobeying her uncle’s order to not honor the body of her deceased brother, who was killed while challenging her uncle’s reign as king. Despite the pleas of his followers and the advice of his counsel to show leniency to his niece, the unwavering ruler follows through with his
for what you believe in or do you show respect to those who rule over you. Antigone is an extremely hard headed, stubborn woman that fears no one above her and will stop at nothing to accomplish what she believes is right. Ismene, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. She believes that you should respect the people over you whether you like their ruling or not and if you have to break the law then do so quietly. Antigone has decided to go against the law of the king and burry her bother, for most
locked away in a cave, only to take her fate into her own hands by hanging herself. This is the fate of Antigone, the niece of the king of Thebes in the tragedy Antigone by Sophocles. How she arrives at this tragic ending is result of one of the most commonly said words in the English language: “No”. Even though this one word is just a single syllable, its implications and causes in Antigone give the play its source of conflict. The fact the play is still relevant today suggests that the stubbornness
The Prophet’s Proclamation In Antigone, a tragedy by Sphocles, Teiresias uses pathos, logos, and ethos to create a compelling argument, thereby revealing to Creon his own hubris and oblivion to the consequences of his actions. In his long-winded speech, Teiresias uses a mixture of anectdotes, religious beliefs, emotions, and reasoning to express the gods’ disapproval of Creon’s actions. Teiresias’ gruesome, vivid language evokes seriousness and fear throughout the passage. By expressing how “[the
In the conversation between Creon and Medea, I was a little surprised initially. In this conversation, Creon was very straightforward about why he came to her. With xenia being a big part of Greek culture, there was none shown whatsoever. The first thing he says was an insult. Creon says, “You with the grim face, fuming at your husband, must leave this land, an exile, taking your children with you” (line 277-280). He never greeted Medea as he approached her. There were no compliments the entire
characters, King Creon and Antigone are in Sophocles' play, "Antigone," and they both possess hamartias. Antigone is an adolescent woman who is fighting the urge to do what is right even though it might cost her life. Her brother, Polyneices, rebelled against Thebes, which would result in the penalty of death. Antigone's brother perished, and she wanted to bury him, and give him a ceremony. King Creon is the king of Thebes, who denied Antigone's desire to bury her brother. Antigone was engaged to King Creon's
Antigone Essay “There are perhaps many causes worth dying for, but to me certainly there are none with killing for”, Albert Dietrich. Many people who have read Antigone by Sophocles would say Antigone’s tragic death was for a respectable cause. Antigone is determined to do what she believes is right resulting in her downfall. Three reasons why Antigone caused her own downfall is her protection on personal dignity, observance to religious laws, and her loyalty and obligation to family.
Antigone, the tragic heroine of Sophocles’ play “Antigone” dies with her ideal principle law of nature and gods over the schemes of mundane rulers like her uncle, Creon. In other words, Antigone upholds her beliefs of God in a strong reverence, and feels that the laws of Gods should be carried out above all else, notably when in respect to family. Antigone fills the role as the main tragic heroine to defy Creon’s order to bury her own brother because it was unlawful and immoral if he doesn’t
