In order that everyone have the same copy of Sophocles’ Antigone (and at as low a cost as possible, in this case free), students need to download one of these two e-books (depending on their e-book reader).
If you don't have an e-book reader, download the Kindle app for your device. (There are Windows/Apple apps, too, if you don't have a device or your device screen is smaller than 5.7".) You may download other apps instead/as well, but the Kindle app is recommended. If an e-book format isn't going to work for you, please see me about how to print out the file.

Authors often choose names based on what they symbolize (Grant is generous, Joy is happy) or what they may allude to (Adam or Eve to the Genesis account of mankind’s origin). Although ironic at first, Equality 7’s and Liberty 5’s names come to represent who they truly are by the end of Anthem; their intermediate and mythology-based names do too. As the protagonist of your own story, your life, what does your name say about you?
Collect the following information, then create a poster (8.5"x11" or larger) displaying everything you know about your name. What does your name mean (first, middle, last) – You may look it up in a baby-naming book at a bookstore or online at a site like babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com. If possible, ask your parents why they chose the name(s) they gave you and write down their response(s). How much is your name a part of your identity? What do you feel your name “says” about you? If you changed your name would you become a different person? Why or why not? Include this information in your poster, too. Due Date: You will have the opportunity to present your poster in class on Thursday/Friday, August 12/13. |
