Antigone One-Page Response

     My brother Eteolces has been called a national hero when in reality he wasn't.  He started the fight between him and Polynieces.  My uncle has sent people to go bury my brother Eteolces but has instructed that my brother Polynieces be deposited at the city dump as bird and maggot meal.  I highly disagree with my uncle and I will do something about it.  At first I went to my sister for help but she is too afraid of our uncle to help me do anything.
     I have a detailed plan of what I plan to do to have my brother's body buried.  I plan to poison my uncle Creon, and therefore be able to bury my brother Ploynieces.  The reason why I incline to such drastic measures is because with my uncle alive I will probably be caught and killed.  I plan to honor my brother's death so I immediately go to a witch and buy poison.  The witch guarantees that the poison is very potent and will immediately take it's effect.  I creep to the kitchen and put the poison in the drinking water. 
     A couple hours later my uncle shows up at the kitchen and drinks water.  He immediately starts tumbling and falls to the floor.  At midnight I try burying my brother Polynieces the best I could without being seen by the guards.  After I have succeeded in burying my brother I run to the house.  I was successful. The next morning the guards show up looking for my uncle but I say he has passed on to the other life and that I am in charge now.  I have gotten away with burning my beloved brother Polynieces.
