English teachers–please help me make a proper thesis statement.?
Decisions
It is interesting how two people in the exact same situation will make different decisions based on their personalities. A good example of this would be the play Antigone. In this play, there are two sisters, Antigone and Ismene who lost their two brothers, Polynecese and etoclese, in civil war. Given to one was a hero’s burial, while the arrogant King Creon condemned the other to rot in the fields. In Greek theology, in order for a person to transcend into the afterlife, a proper burial must be performed. Therefore, according to their beliefs Antigone and Ismene’s brother had been condemned to the equivalent of hell. Antigone and Ismene are in the same situation but make different decisions. Antigone defies King Creon’s law about her brother because she values her family and religion more than the law. On the other hand, although Ismene loved her brother, she uplifts the law because of fear for her life. I have qualities of both Antigone and Ismene and in the same situation, I would make Antigone’s decision to defy King Creon’s law, but like Ismene, I have a sense of preservation, and would be make precautions as to not get myself killed.

Like Antigone, I would chose to defy King Creon’s law, but at the same time, like Ismene, I would take the necessary measures to avoid getting killed.
