This week in AP lit we talked a lot about tragedy. Tragedy is a drama based on human suffering. During the week we did a play called Oedipus Rex. The play was about a hero who was helping a small town by trying to find the king's murderer. In the end of the story the truth came out that Oedipus was the king's murderer who was also his father and that Oedipus married his mother. Another thing we did was we watched a couple of ted talk videos that had something to do with tragedy. During the time we took learning about tragedy I learned more that what I expected to learn. I never thought that tragedy could mean so much and all the different elements, characteristics and signs of tragedy. The ted talks for me really opened my mind up to think of tragedy different, for example there was one ted talk that talked about whether or not we have control over our decisions. Although the ted talk never really discussed tragedy itself, it did make me think that the choices we make are not always the choices we make and sometimes in many different cases it's sometimes fate making that choice for us.
