2. Stand up!
S Antigone stood up for what she
believed regardless of the
consequences she would be facing and
her position in life, setting an example
for individuals today to stand up for
what they believe in.

3. Example
S Oprah Winfrey, a billion dollar network, started out in the
poor streets. Many people looked down to her because
she had the idea of becoming something big under her
condition. Despite the initial failure she faced while on the
journey to achieve her dreams, she was able to become
one of the greatest and most powerful woman the world
has come to know. Oprah is similar to Antigone in terms
of standing up for beliefs regardless of their social
standings. Neither of those woman were respected
but, that did not stop either of them to achieve greatness.

4. Believe
S Some people believe that one person cannot make a
difference, but through the examples of Antigone and
Oprah we are shown that regardless of ones station in
life we can affect many. Both Oprah and Antigone came
from bad circumstances and were not expected to
achieve much but each proved society wrong by effecting
a large population.

5. Conclusion
S Oprah inspired many to achieve great things and
influence many people in life. Antigone showed others
not to give up in what they believe in and that anything is
possible. Both heroin's prove that one person can affect
many and bring hope to people despite their origins.
