A Hot Suit

It is a horrible fate to be stuck doing the same routine day in and day out. School is a large portion of most peoples early years. Wasting all that time sitting in the same chairs letting information go in one ear, and out the other. This time is spent so that you can grow and have the knowledge to do what you love when you are older and be good at it. The old saying that I heard from a Sam Adams commercial is that if you find something that you love, you won’t work a day in your life. This is a lot easier for young people to do. Some people get stuck in a long career with no logical way out. Similar to a man’s commitment to his family and salary, Spiderman feels a commitment to the citizens he serves. His suit is one that cannot be burned and one he could never fully leave. I will never let myself be trapped in a suit that I do not want to be in. At this point I wish I can finish my education and get into a job that I love and can not help but love doing. I do not want to ever have to work a nine to five job. I understand though that part of developing into the life I want to live is roughing through suits that I do not want to wear. I may have to work a nine to five job for a while in order to get where I want to be in life. But I never want it to get to the point where I need to burn my suit. Every stage of life should be enjoyed. Without bearing through the long hours and hard work we would not be able to appreciate a relaxed Sunday on the patio. Without the rain, a sunny day would be the norm. At the same time, if the suit you are wearing is not making you happy you have to get out and switch to a suit that will make you happy. (350)

You Gotta Fight for Your Right to partAAYYYY!!

Antigone has a very strong devotion to her beliefs. She not only knows the right thing to do, she refuses to let anything get in the way of her doing the right thing. This devotion to a cause is very rarely seen. This loyalty to morals is often linked with the Free French during World War II. The struggle for Antigone to do what is right even though there were harsh punishments if she were to be caught is strongly linked to the opposition of the Nazi occupation of France. It was only a matter of time before the people of France got the courage and strength to take back what was theirs. The leaders of the Free French galvanized their people with the story of Antigone. Many forms of Antigone were written and performed in France during this time. It is common for literary characters to be parallels into real life situations. Not many parallels have been made to historical American figures; but, two people in American society who have embraced this devotion are Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi started the non-violent tactics that were later used by Dr. King during the Civil Rights Movement. Gandhi is so renowned for this that the UN declared October 2^nd, his birthday, “The International Day of Non-violence”. Gandhi was very active in rights and independence movements in many different countries. Martin Luther King is much more like Antigone because they both saw a cause worth fighting for and they both did not stop until their goals had been reached. His Montgomery Bus Boycott was a long tough road for him to walk; but he stuck to his beliefs and was in it till the end. It was not only Dr. King who was employing this steadfast method. Many were staging sit-ins all across the South. The members of the sit-ins knew they would be physically and verbally beaten but they also knew that the cause was more important than the repercussions. Nothing could stop this group from reaching their goal. Their determination rivals that of Antigone when she knows that must bury her brother and give him the righteous path to an afterlife with the gods. Both Antigone and the civil rights activists faced persecution and pain. Creon can be linked to the police officers that were ordered to break up the civil rights marches. They both opposed the competition with force and harm. Hoses and dogs could not keep the marchers from reaching their goal, and execution could not keep Antigone from honoring her bother. 428
