Part 2 Well don’t I have a story for you! Today was a very long day, working with hunting! I caught my first dear today! Mother would be so proud. After work we all got news that we had a visitor, we all stood on the shore and watched the massive ship come in. I could tell we were all kind of intimidated by the ship but no one said a word. As the ship came in we heard the captain yell out “AHOY YE MATEYS” I was immediately fascinated by the haste work of the crewmen. The way they got the anchor down was amazing yet frightening. The captain, who noted himself to be captain Logan, came down off the stairs to greet our governor. The captains’ crew followed behind him and entered the town hall for a meeting with our governor. After of hours of waiting and anticipating our governor came out. He asked mother to find places for the captain and his crew to rest for a few days, he also asked another one of our citizens to prepare a feast for our visitors.

Aryn De La Garza English 2 March 27, 2014 Creon’s Decision I think his law is very unreasonable, considering all it did for him was cause death of his son Haemon as well as Antigone.

It is not necessary to exercise absolute power, because then it gets into their minds and they feel that they can do whatever they want as kings. Thus leading…
