By their resistance to change, they both seal each others fate. Antigone is passionate... Creon is full ... something she believes in. In the first scene Atigone pleas with her sister, Ismene, to help her. When Ismene refuses she is furious, but is resolved to continue with her plan, in defiance of Creon¹s decree. ³Go away, Ismene: I shall be hating you soon, and the dead will too, For your words are hateful.

- 3852: Practices and Winning in Sports
- Practices and Winning in Sports Some say winning is what the outcome is, or the final score. I would have to completely disagree with this theory. Winning to me isn't necessarily the team score but your own personal score, or how well you did in the game, or what ever the competition. The competition could for a job, or the competition could be life in ... fun at the same time. However, in order to your best you have to have fun. So having fun is a big part of winning. You could do your best at anything but you won't always have fun doing it. Some coaches say, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." This saying means something different to everyone.

In fact "It's stylistic scope is to broad to be encompassed by any single definition" ("Rock Music", Groliers, p.1).

In this essay, I'm going to divide Rock music into four sections: Rock of the 50's, of the 60's, of the 70's and of the 80's. Within these sections I'm also going to discuss several sub-topics such as famous composers and groups, and characteristics of the music. The first ...
