2Antigone and Athens Paper-1 (2).docxdownload
For your paper, please consider ONE of the following possible approaches.
Creon often describes how his actions relate to his obligation to the city and the people of Thebes. What examples can you find? What do these examples tell us about the way the city is portrayed in Greek tragedy?
OR
How might you interpret the clash between Antigone, Creon, and the people of Thebes in light of the challenges facing any American City in the Summer of 2020?
OR
Is Antigone a traitor or a hero to her city?
However you approach this work:
Please write approximately four (4) pages, typed, double-spaced.
Please craft an introduction, identifying the work under study and the author and the CS objective you’ll tackle.
Be sure to include a thesis in your introduction. This will identify the question or idea you are exploring and set out a road map for your reader to follow.
Organize your analysis by offering three main examples, each in its own paragraph. Offer examples from the work to support your ideas. Don’t over quote. We’d rather read your ideas about the work.
Demonstrate how your analysis addresses one of the objectives for the Creative Spirit.
Finally, sum it all up in a brilliant conclusion, reminding the reader of your main points.
General Guidelines:
While you are free to develop a thesis and an organization all your own, please observe the following guidelines no matter which issue you investigate.
Presentation:
Your paper should by typed, double spaced and approximately 4 pages in length ( 1000 words).
A good presentation is a key element for a successful essay. Begin with an introduction that includes a thesis statement. Students often find it helpful to revise the introduction after writing the entire essay.
Each paragraph in the body of your paper should be well organized with a topic sentence and transition statement that allows each paragraph to flow logically to the next.
Sum up your essay with a conclusion that reminds the reader of your significant points and persuades the reader to accept your interpretation.
Please include a bibliography of all secondary sources used.
Choose a manual of style for documentation and use it consistently. The History Department prefers the Chicago Manual of Style, prepared by Kate Turabian. Use the style manual associated with your major or discipline.
Stylistic concerns:
Avoid the passive voice when possible. “The boy threw the ball” is almost always better than “the ball was thrown by the boy.” If you often use the word “was,” revise to make your writing more active.
Know when to use each of these words: to, two, too
Do not use contractions.
Avoid personal pronouns such as “I” and “you”.
Know the difference between “it is” and “its.” The second is possessive (hers, his, its) and does not require an apostrophe.
Maintain a consistent verb tense throughout the essay. Endeavor to write in the historical past tense.
Edit the essay for proper spelling. Please avail yourself of spell check features.
Spell check is no substitute for good editing. Read and reread the final essay before turning it in. Read it out loud. Ask a roommate to read it.
Master the proper way to make plurals. An apostrophe denotes a possessive and only very rarely a plural.
When writing of historical persons do not identify them only by first name unless they are prophets, monarchs or artists. Thus, Martin Luther may be referred to as “Martin Luther,” “Luther” or “Dr. Luther,” but never simply “Martin.” Figures such as Moses, Buddha and Mary are referred to by a single name. Michelangelo Buonarroti, may be identified only as “Michelangelo;” Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of England, is simply Elizabeth I.
You may never refer to a secondary source by first name.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else’s words or ideas and presenting them as your own. Plagiarism will not be tolerated in this class. You may not ‘copy’ from a source; you may, however, quote or paraphrase. In either of the latter cases you MUST cite the source you have used. For example, consider the following quote from Keneally’s Schindler’s List:
“Oskar did not seem to realize that throughout Poland in the summer of 1943, he was one of the champion illicit feeders of prisoners; that the malign pall of hunger which should by SS policy hang over the great death factories and over every one of the little barbed-wire labor slums was lacking in Lipowa Street in a way that was dangerously visible.”[1]
Now consider the following uses of the above quote:
Oskar Schindler did not realize that throughout Poland in the summer of 1943, he was one of the great secret feeders of prisoners; that the terrible pall of starvation which should by SS policy hang over the great death factories and over all the barbed wired labor camps was lacking in Lipowa Street in a way that was remarkably visible.
This is plagiarism. Only a few words have been changed and clearly the original version is better.
Schindler fed the prisoners in his factory conspicuously well. According to Keneally, the policy of
the SS was to provide prisoners in the concentration camps and in the labor camps with so little food as to maintain a “malign pall of hunger.”[2] Schindler clearly violated this policy to a dangerous extent.
In this example the writer has paraphrased, pulling out the main idea of the passage, and has directly quoted a phrase of the author’s. Both activities deserve citation. This is not plagiarism.
Plagiarism and You:
If quoting from a source other than class lecture and discussion will enhance your work, you must cite your source. If you use 5 or more words directly from a source, you must place those words in quotation marks and identify that source in a footnote, endnote or parenthetically, with proper bibliographic citation. If you use a significant idea from a source in your analysis, without quoting word for word, you must also offer proper attribution.
Sources include your textbook, monographs, encyclopaedias, newspapers, journal and magazine articles, internet sources, television and film documentaries, and your colleagues’ work, etc.
The penalty for plagiarism in this class is a zero for the assignment. The offending assignment will also be sent to the office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. There a file will be established in your name. A second offense will result in an ‘F’ for the course.
If you have any question regarding plagiarism, please ask your instructor. Please also refer to the Academic Honesty Policy in your Student Handbook and the NU Catalogue.
