Antigone

The one significant quote form reading so far was "Courage. You live but my soul has been dead for a long time now. It died so as to serve our dead."

My analysis of this quote is that, Antigone believed that her life was complete by helping bury her brother, Eteocles.  By burying her brother completing her life, her soul had died and she was trying to rid herself of the body holding her back from her brother. 

The Media

Has anyone noticed some of the junk on the media sites? Oh boy, golf, what to do before you die, hot gossip. Has anyone else noticed that not much has been said about crisis' around the world? There's been no talk of other cultures being starved to death or how people are dying to diseases? Now, I realize that some of this stuff is interesting to some people, but shouldn't we be worrying about how other people are doing instead of where is Brittany Spears now? Even now if you go to "msn.com" majority of the links are gossip, sports, the elections and money. Again, I'm not saying these are worthless, uninteresting or useless stories, but where's the link where you find out what's really going on in the world? 

My First Post

I believe that the book "King Dork" was very hackneyed. The main character was always facing similar mysteries and that by the end of the book I was enthralled by the conclusion of them. It was, however, very close to a normal high school life. With the exception of the several conspiracies, murders and attempts on the main character's life.
