Week #4: Tragedy

This week we have been working on our tragedy project. We had to read six different articles about tragedies and some of those articles compared how tragedy is no meant today and how it has changed from the past to the present. One of the articles that i read was talking about how tragedies in the present are now more emotional than before because they leave u with a sad or unhappy ending.

3rd Entry of the week!!

This week we finished reading the story and play of Oepidus. It was a really interesting play and it intrigued me when I read that he had children with the queen of Thebes which is his mother but he doesn't know its his mother. We also talked about how we thought about this reading and shared our favorite line with the whole class. Not only that but we also saw a video of Oepidus when he becomes blind.

2nd Entry

This week in English class we had to do an in-class essay about the book we read. I read the book Always Running by Luis Rodriguez and I did my in-class essay about that book. we aslo saw sad clips from different movies who we thought they were sad scenes. We learned about Greek plays and many different characters who are Aeschylus, Sophocles, Aristotle, and Dionysus also read about Oedipus which are still currently reading.
