Antigone by Sophocles.
Antigone by Anouilh.
I must say the instructions are quite...hmm...crazy confusing?
I have to write four paragraphs.
The first paragraph I must state the main idea of the first play (easy), but then I have to explain the language and meaning of the play (confusing).
The second is the same as the first for the other play.
The third is a comparison and the fourth is a contrasting paragraph.
Help? Thanks in advance. =]

Okay well it would have helped to actually read the plays. Try reading BOTH plays in one day and writing 2 paragraphs a day for the rest of your time off. But you may not want to do that. For meaning and such try Sparknotes. It's really good for classical stuff also look at the time period it was written to see the meaning to the people. Language means well language. Does it use a more classical style of speach or contemporary. What references does it have? Greek, Roman,Latin?? See the authors underlying context. For comparisons and contrasts. Look for specifics. Just browse and when you see differences note them. Also look into backround culture for this too. It seems like a LOT of work. But then when you get done chill out and celebrate that you don't have TWO summer projects like me!!

You should probably read both of them first. Make a place to note ideas you might have along the way. Divide the note paper up into parts that represent what you'll need to write in each of the paragraphs.
