Defying Authority / In Literature & In Life

Abstract: A 6 page creative essay describing an episode in the life of a college student who stood up for their beliefs. The writer relates this experience to the stories of Sophocles' Antigone (from Antigone), Plato's Socrates (as described in the Apology), and Arthur Miller's John Proctor (from The Crucible). The essay concludes that even though following one's conscience does not always produce a happy ending, it is still worth it. No additional sources cited.
