Things i like to do

Some things i like to do in my spare time include, hanging out with friends, playing football, basketball or video games or swimming. One my favorite things to do is learn different languages (I dont know why, so don't ask). So far i can speak 3 fluently: English, Yugoslavian and French. I also know how to speak a little bit of Russian, Italian, Slovenian and a couple words in Spanish.

Football practice

Alot of people skipped football practice today, and some people are even thinking of quitting the team. i am one of those people. I had an excuse why i didnt go to practice but even if i didnt i still probably wouldnt have went. Alot of people on the team don't like the coaches and how they make us run alot during practice. I really don't mind the coaching, I just don't feel like doing 100 grass drills everyday.

Antigone quote

"We can think and act together" is the quote I think explains who Antigone is in this story. It shows that she wants her sister to help her with the burial of their brother. This shows that she loves and respects her family. It also shows that she doesn't like doing things alone.

Antigone

Today for homework i read Antigone. It's a story about the daughter of Oedipus and what happens after Oedipus' death. Creon has become the king of Thebes after the two sons of Oedipus kill each other in a war to claim the throne. Creon doesn't allow one of the brothers to be buried becuase he was a rebel. Antigone thinks this is wrong because she loves her brother and wants him to have a proper and respectful burial.

Oedipus

Oedipus is a book about a king of Thebes named Oedipus who fulfills a prophecy in which he kills his father and marries his mother. Oedipus becomes king of Thebes after his father is killed and after he defeats the sphinx. Although no one knows he killed his father (neither does he) they are given that idea when a blind prophet tells him that he is the murderer. His mother/wife tells him that thats impossible because in another prophecy the son of the king was suppose to kill him but the king got rid of the son a long time ago.
