Oedipus Rex Blog #1

1. Bradley Calaway, a young man who lives in a small town known as Ellensburg Washington, has started on his last quest at Ellensburg High school. He will encounter many trials this year as a senior, things such as major choices for his future, projects due that are crucial for graduation, and living his life this year with no regrets. The brown haired blue eyed youg man has many goals he wishes to accomplish in his life. Bradley will attend college and soon afterward find a career that he is happy with. However, he will soon come to the realization that he is destined for greater things than that of peasents. So he sets out on a conquest with his good friends D Chaff, to find the golden city of El Derado, conquer its inhabitants and take the riches for themselves. After doing so they will buy the continent of Central America and become the wealthiest men ever. Shortly after doing so, the realize that Central America really wasn’t that great of a purchase to have made. So the set out north and attempt to take over North America. However the U.S. military was too much and they both were thrown into jail.

2. In the story Oedipus the king, i believe the story will end in the following manner: Oedipus comes to the realization the he actually was the one who killed laius the king and that he married his mom (disgusting i know). However, even with the knowledge that he is truly guilty, he will refuse to believe that it was him and will try and cover up the inccident. Oedipus will attempt at killing the seer, Creon, and the slave whom resides in the fields because he doesn't want to give up his power. Despite his efforts, Creon will see this coming because of the help from the seer who will for see these events coming to past. Oedipus will be prosecuted for his actions and will be put to death. And Creon will take power in Thebes.

3. I don’t believe that my life story or my “destiny” has already been chosen/written. I strongly feel and believe that I have the right to choose my fate. I can achieve this by how I conduct myself in my everyday life. Essentially its choices that make who we are, and where we will go. We were put on this earth as a test, to see that even with temptation we can somehow return to where we came from. Fate can also be summarized as “outcome”, what will be the outcome of my life? Just as students study for a test or put forth effort in a project, whatever work they put forth into their “project” a.k.a their life, they will see the outcome of it all. That is why its so important to make good choices. If you want a good fate/destiny, make the right choices now so that you will have a good future. This is what my philosophy is on this matter.
