Different Laws
Through the spans of time and all throughout the world there have been people making the decision to do what they believe is right, knowing it has its repercussions. As I read the two pieces of literature assigned I can see a similarity in the two main characters, Antigony from the play Antigony, and Sarty for the story Barn Burning. Both characters have to make a decision and accept the consequences that follow, but it is the difference in the way that the authors illustrate how the charters go about making that decision that I find intriguing. The two pieces of work, Antigony and Barn Burning, tell us that the main characters feel that they have to do something they believe in, in order to feel a since of peace within. In Antigony, Antigony's brothers are killed and one is buried, but the other is forbidden to be touched, or for anyone to mourn for him. Antigony does not believe that it is fair that her brother cannot have a proper burial, so that his soul cannot descend into the afterlife. The decision that Antigony has to make is whether or not to bury her brother. Much like Antigony, Sarty has a decision to make. Sarty's father is a barnburner and is going to burn down a barn without warning the owner
Another difference I find interesting is how the two stories are different in the ways the story is told. On the other hand, Sarty lives; he has to look at his decision every day for the rest of his life. This all suggests that Sarty is going to lie for his father, although we will never know because the judge decides not to question Sarty. Sarty, in the beginning, is going to be true to his father. She believes that there is no point in her living if she's going to feel guilty and regret her decision for the rest of her life. after he heard the shot and an instant later, two shots, pausing now without knowing he had ceased to run, crying, 'Pap! Pap!'. She feels that it is more important to honor her brother by burying him than to live her own life. In Antigony, the play is basically based on the consequence of what she has done. In Antigony and barn burning there is a definite distinction between the two in the wa!y they develop. This is different than Barn Burning in that Barn Burning focuses on the decision that Sarty has to make. Antigony decides to stick with her blood and bury h!er brother so that his soul can descend into the afterlife. The action that Antigony and Sarty takes has an effect on what happens next in their lives. By making these decisions they caused after effects. By the end he has decided that he needs to warn the owner and he totally betrays his father.
