It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words. The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them ~ Pablo Picasso Connections | See, Think, Wonder

Your final project for Antigone will be two-fold—a visual and a written piece that conveys your ideas about civic duty or civil disobedience. Begin your entry by choosing a theme topic. This topic could be, but is not limited to:
Theme is the overarching subject or topic the reader recognizes or gains from a story. By understanding this subject or topic, we are able to recognize truths about what it means to be human and to be part of society. This idea or truth helps us to understand ourselves as human beings who are connected to all human beings in the world, across all spaces, cultures and across all time. The theme is the important thing for us to learn about others, but especially about ourselves. An analysis essay examines the components of a text, the literary elements, in order to construct an argument about this theme. So for this one-page essay, you will consider your ideas about civic duty or civil disobedience by using the text(s) we studied in class this unit.

Accordion Book | Jeremiad Define the term Jeremiad in your own words based on the following definition: "A jeremiad is, by its most basic definition, a long literary work criticizing and lamenting the flaws of society. In A Small Place, Kincaid draws from the long history of the American jeremiad — so much so that Salman Rushdie described the novel as “a jeremiad of great clarity and force that one might have called torrential were the language not so finely controlled.” The Jeremiad is a form which first originated among 17th century New England Puritans. The Puritans believed they had been called by God to flee a corrupt Anglo Church in England and to start their own “beacon on the hill” in the New World. According to historian David Howard Pitney, “the American jeremiad arose as a form of ritualistic complaint and self- reproach because of the apparent failure of Puritan society to fulfill its task of self-perfection and world redemption” (482). Jeremiads were named after the biblical prophet Jeremiah and were characterized by a “long list of perceived social ills, denounc[ing] people for their sins and misconduct, and warn[ings] of worse tribulations and divine punishments to come if they did not quickly repent and observe their social covenant” (482). The traditional jeremiad was composed of three parts: citing of God’s promise, lamenting the current moral decline of society, and prophesying the promise’s imminent fulfillment" (Great World Text).
