Practice Your Intros

Here's the prompt for tomorrow.  So read it.  Analyze it.  Write an introduction that we'll play with tomorrow.

In the following excerpt from Antigone, by the classic Greek playwright Sophocles, the wise Teiresias observes
              Think: all men make mistakes,
               But a good man yields when he
              Knows his course is wrong,
               And repairs the evil:  The only
               Crime is pride.
Take some time to think about the implications of the quotation.  Then write a carefully reasoned essay that explores the validity of the assertion, using examples from your reading, observation, or experience to develop a position.
