Then answer the questions that follow.In this excerpt from Antigone, Teiresias warns Creon that by denying Polyneices a proper burial, the king faces a terrible fate. Creon initially dismisses the prophet’s words but later realizes the possible consequences of his actions.from AntigoneSophocles Teiresias. This is the way the blind man comes, princes, princes, Lock step, two heads lit by the eyes of one. Creon. What new thing have you to tell us, old Teiresias? Teiresias. I have much to tell you: listen to the prophet, Creon.5 Creon. I am not aware that I have ever failed to listen. Teiresias. Then you have done wisely, King, and ruled well. Creon. I admit my debt to you. But what have you to say? Teiresias. This, Creon: you stand once more on the edge of fate. Creon. What do you mean? Your words are a kind of dread.10 Teiresias. Listen, Creon: I was sitting in my chair of augury, at the place Where the birds gather about me. They were all a-chatter, As is their habit, when suddenly I heard A strange note in their jangling, a scream, a15 Whirring fury; I knew that they were fighting, Tearing each other, dying In a whirlwind of wings clashing. And I was afraid. I began the rites of burnt offering at the altar, But Hephaestus failed me: instead of bright flame,20 There was only the sputtering slime of the fat thigh-flesh Melting: the entrails dissolved in grey smoke; The bare bone burst from the welter. And no blaze! This was a sign from heaven. My boy described it, Seeing for me as I see for others.25 I tell you, Creon, you yourself have brought This new calamity upon us. Our hearths and altars Are stained with the corruption of dogs and carrion birds That glut themselves on the corpse of Oedipus’ son. The gods are deaf when we pray to them; their fire30 Recoils from our offering; their birds of omen Have no cry of comfort, for they are gorged With the thick blood of the dead. O my son, These are no trifles! Think: all men make mistakes,35But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, And repairs the evil. The only crime is pride. Give in to the dead man, then: do not fight with a corpse— What glory is it to kill a man who is dead? Think, I beg you:40It is for your own good that I speak as I do. You should be able to yield for your own good. Creon. It seems that prophets have made me their especial province. All my life long I have been a kind of butt for the dull arrows45Of doddering fortunetellers! No, Teiresias: If your birds—if the great eagles of the God himself— Should carry him stinking bit by bit to heaven, I would not yield. I am not afraid of pollution:50No man can defile the gods. Do what you will; Go into business, make money, speculate In India gold or that synthetic gold from Sardis, Get rich otherwise than by my consent to bury him.55Teiresias, it is a sorry thing when a wise man Sells his wisdom, lets out his words for hire! Teiresias. Ah Creon! Is there no man left in the world— Creon. To do what? Come, let’s have the aphorism! Teiresias. No man who knows that wisdom outweighs any wealth?60Creon. As surely as bribes are baser than any baseness. Teiresias. You are sick, Creon! You are deathly sick! Creon. As you say: it is not my place to challenge a prophet. Teiresias. Yet you have said my prophecy is for sale. Creon. The generation of prophets has always loved gold.65Teiresias. The generation of kings has always loved brass. Creon. You forget yourself! You are speaking to your king. Teiresias. I know it. You are a king because of me. Creon. You have a certain skill; but you have sold out. Teiresias. King, you will drive me to words that—70Creon. Say them, say them! Only remember: I will not pay you for them. Teiresias. No, you will find them too costly. Creon. No doubt. Speak: Whatever you say, you will not change my will.75Teiresias. Then take this, and take it to heart! The time is not far off when you shall pay back Corpse for corpse, flesh of your own flesh. You have thrust the child of this world into living night; You have kept from the gods below the child that is theirs:80The one in a grave before her death, the other, Dead, denied the grave. This is your crime: And the Furies and the dark gods of hell Are swift with terrible punishment for you. Do you want to buy me now, Creon?85Not many days, And your house will be full of men and women weeping, And curses will be hurled at you from far Cities grieving for sons unburied, left to rot before the walls of Thebes. These are my arrows, Creon: they are all for you.90(to boy) But come, child: lead me home. Let him waste his fine anger upon younger men. Maybe he will learn at last To control a wiser tongue in a better head. (Exit Teiresias.)95 Choragus. The old man has gone, King, but his words Remain to plague us. I am old, too, But I cannot remember that he was ever false. Creon. That is true. . . . It troubles me. Oh it is hard to give in! but it is worse100To risk everything for stubborn pride. Choragus. Creon: take my advice. Creon. What shall I do? Choragus. Go quickly: free Antigone from her vault And build a tomb for the body of Polyneices.105 Creon. You would have me do this? Choragus. Creon, yes! And it must be done at once: God moves Swiftly to cancel the folly of stubborn men. Creon. It is hard to deny the heart! But I110 Will do it: I will not fight with destiny. Choragus. You must go yourself; you cannot leave it to others. Creon. I will go. —Bring axes, servants: Come with me to the tomb. I buried her; I115 Will set her free. Oh quickly! My mind misgives— The laws of the gods are mighty, and a man must serve them To the last day of his life!(Exit Creon.)Directions Answer the following questions about the excerpt from Antigone.1.

Then answer the questions that follow.from Why Write?Paul Auster I was eight years old. At that moment in my life, nothing was more important to me than baseball. My team was the New York Giants, and I followed the doings of those men in the black-and-orange caps with all the devotion of a true believer. Even now, remembering that team which no longer exists, that played in a ballpark which no longer exists, I can reel off the names of nearly every player on the roster. Alvin Dark, Whitey Lockman, Don Mueller, Johnny Antonelli, Monte Irvin, Hoyt Wilhelm. But none was greater, none more perfect nor more deserving of worship than Willie Mays, the incandescent Say-Hey Kid. That spring, I was taken to my first big-league game. Friends of my parents10 had box seats at the Polo Grounds, and one April night a group of us went to watch the Giants play the Milwaukee Braves. I don’t know who won, I can’t recall a single detail of the game, but I do remember that after the game was over my parents and their friends sat talking in their seats until all the other spectators had left. It got so late that we had to walk across the diamond and leave by the centerfield exit, which was the only one still open. As it happened, that exit was right below the players’ locker rooms. Just as we approached the wall, I caught sight of Willie Mays. There was no question about who it was. It was Willie Mays, already out of uniform and standing there in his street clothes not ten feet away from me. I managed to keep20 my legs moving in his direction and then, mustering every ounce of my courage, I forced some words out of my mouth. “Mr. Mays,” I said, “could I please have your autograph?” He had to have been all of twenty-four years old, but I couldn’t bring myself to pronounce his first name. His response to my question was brusque but amiable. “Sure, kid, sure,” he said. “You got a pencil?” He was so full of life, I remember, so full of youthful energy, that he kept bouncing up and down as he spoke. I didn’t have a pencil, so I asked my father if I could borrow his. He didn’t have one either. Nor did my mother. Nor, as it turned out, did any of the30 other grown-ups. The great Willie Mays stood there watching in silence. When it became clear that no one in the group had anything to write with, he turned to me and shrugged. “Sorry, kid,” he said. “Ain’t got no pencil, can’t give no autograph.” And then he walked out of the ballpark into the night. I didn’t want to cry, but tears started falling down my cheeks, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. Even worse, I cried all the way home in the car. Yes, I was crushed with disappointment, but I was also revolted at myself for not being able to control those tears. I wasn’t a baby. I was eight years old, and big kids weren’t supposed to cry over things like that. Not only did I not have Willie40 Mays’s autograph, I didn’t have anything else either. Life had put me to the test, and in all respects I had found myself wanting. After that night, I started carrying a pencil with me wherever I went. It became a habit of mine never to leave the house without making sure I had a pencil in my pocket. It’s not that I had any particular plans for that pencil, but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. If nothing else, the years have taught me this: if there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel tempted to start using it. As I like to tell my children, that’s how I became a writer.From “Why Write?,” from The Red Notebook by Paul Auster. Copyright ? 2002 by Paul Auster. Reprintedby permission of New Directions Publishing Corp.Mays Pays Homage to Jackie RobinsonGeorge Vecsey Willie Mays sat in the Mets’ clubhouse yesterday before their 4-2 victory here over the Giants and pronounced himself “blessed.” Then he traced his blessing back to one human being named Jack Roosevelt Robinson. “Without Jackie, I wouldn’t have gotten out of Birmingham,” said one of the greatest baseball players ever. In this 50th anniversary of Robinson’s debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers, everybody wants to pay tribute. The Mets are planning a celebration at their April 15 game against the Dodgers, complete with video highlights of Robinson’s life. Mays feels so strongly about his old opponent that he made a special trip to10 the ball park yesterday to talk about Robinson. They played for baseball’s two greatest rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants, but they had something much more important in common. “They knew Jackie was hard-headed and they said, ‘You give us two years and we’ll give all your friends a chance,’” Mays said. “If he had gotten in a fight within those two years, it would have been all over.” Maybe yes, maybe no, but it certainly seemed that way at the time. The hopes of every young black athlete were riding on Jackie Robinson that April. “Don’t forget Larry Doby,” Mays cautioned. “Larry came right after Jackie in the American League. From what I hear, Jackie had Pee Wee Reese and Gil20 Hodges and Ralph Branca, but Larry didn’t have anybody.” It is a little unnerving to an old Brooklyn fan like me to hear Willie Mays speaking with such reverence for the Dodgers, but Mays says that is exactly what it was like in 1947. “We all rooted for the Dodgers,” he said. “From the day he signed, I knew I had a chance to play major league ball. When I got married, my wife was a Dodgers fan.” By the time Mays came up, four years after Robinson, the worst of the racial slurs had vanished, at least from the dugouts. “And I had Leo,” Mays says softly, referring to the fiery Leo Durocher, who had previously managed Robinson. “Leo30 took care of me. A lot of people took care of me. “For a while we couldn’t stay in the same hotels. We’d get to Chicago, we’d get off on the South side, they’d get off on the North Side. But they gave us $40 in meal money instead of $20, and we could have a lot of fun with that.” Mays will always appreciate what Robinson went through. “Don’t forget his wife, Rachel,” Mays said. “She was there when he came home. He had somebody to relate to. The Dodgers picked him because he and his wife were educated people. “He would have made the Hall of Fame anyway, but he was also a great player. I remember that last day of the 1951 season. We won our game up in40 Boston, and they needed to win to get into the playoff. Jackie caught a ball over second base to save the game, and then he won it a few innings later.” The Giants won that three-game playoff on Bobby Thomson’s homer, still a sore point with fans of a certain age, but Mays said there was a softer side to the rivalry. “Campy had a liquor store in Harlem,” Mays said of the Dodgers’ catcher, Roy Campanella. “Junior Gilliam lived over in New Jersey. Joe Black used to come up to Harlem. Don Newcombe came around, but he would still knock me down every chance he got. Jackie lived in Connecticut. He didn’t come around.” After the wraps came off, Robinson became the most fiery Dodger, even50 the enforcer, who wiped out Davey Williams, the Giants’ second baseman, damaging his back and shortening his career. “Jackie didn’t start that,” Mays said softly. “Sal Maglie started that by throwing at him. Jackie bunted down the first-base line and he even slowed down, but Maglie wouldn’t come over. Whitey Lockman picked up the ball and threw to Williams who was covering first, and Jackie ran into Williams. “Right after that we had a meeting in the dugout. We agreed that the first guy to get to second base would just keep going. Alvin Dark was the first guy. He ran to third and he knocked the ball right out of Jackie’s hands. Jackie reached down, picked up the ball, rubbed it, and threw it back to the pitcher.60 “Jackie knew there were times when you don’t fight, you just play harder. That was one thing I learned from him. “You know, we traded for Jackie after 1956, but he wouldn’t play for the Giants. I could understand that, but still I would have loved to play with him, just to learn from him.” The great Giant knows one thing about the great Dodger: “I couldn’t have done what he did.”“Mays Pays Homage to Jackie Robinson” by George Vecsey, The New York Times, April 7, 1997.

(2) Art forms like dance, music, and literature go back thousands of years. (3) But because the movie camera was invented roughly 100 years ago, the motion picture is in fact a recent art form. (4) The movies we know and love today would not be possible without significant advancements in technology.(5) The story of motion picture history begins with photography. (6) A movie is simply a long series of still photographs. (7) The objects in the photographs appear to move when the images are projected in rapid succession. (8) This phenomenon is known as “persistence of vision.” (9) It’s the same principle as a flip comic book. (10) Throughout the 1800s, inventors developed various machines to create the illusion of moving pictures. (11) Workers at Thomas Edison’s laboratory developed a camera that could take pictures quickly, one after the other, and a corresponding projector to play the filmstrips back.(12) These early movies looked like a bunch of junk. (13) These films were silent. (14) They were in black-and-white, often with bad resolution. (15) These limitations would be addressed over the next forty years. (16) The addition of sound to film was tricky. (17) Engineers had to synchronize sound and images so that they would match each other when played back. (18) They printed the soundtrack directly onto the film strip. (19) Then the image frames and the soundtrack could be matched exactly. (20) The first sound film was The Jazz Singer. (21) Hollywood changed dramatically. (22) Hollywood stopped hiring actors whose voices didn’t match their looks. (23) The talking picture completely replaced the earlier silent films.(24) Most talking pictures continued to be made in black-and-white. (25) The well-known Technicolor process was available as early as the 1920s. (26) Filmmakers disliked the expensive equipment and difficult production methods it required. (27) Cheaper, more flexible methods later made color more attractive to filmmakers. (28) Although color films, like sound films, became the new standard, some directors even today use black-and-white to make an artistic point.(29) Movement, color, and sound add up to the movies we recognize today. (30) But the technology of film continues to move forward. (31) In the last ten years, computers have increased distribution and improved special effects. (32) Computer effects allow writers and directors to create visions that would cost too much dough to film using real actors and sets. (33) With new high-quality video cameras, directors can shoot and edit films more cheaply than ever. (34) Technology is difficult to predict. (35) We can only guess what the future holds. (36) Still, you can bet that movies will be easier to make and more fascinating to watch.28.
