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.
