Blog #5 Week of 11/1-7/2010

This week we been working on our tragedy project and writing an essay about tragedy. For the essay we summarize what he learned from the tragedy articles we read and explain how we define a perfect tragedy. I used Aristotle, Oedipus, Miller, Krutch, and two other stories I picked from the internet. The first three paragraphs I explain the components they see in a perfect tragedy than I go into what I say. I agree with Oedipus when he stated that tragedy only happened to noble people but that's how it was back then or in places where there are a lot of heroes. On the other side I agree more in what Miller stated tragedy happens to the everyday man. And I gave the example of homeowners who lose their home because of the lack of money. Now for my project Diana and I are working on a letter written by the mother of one of many guys that died while crossing the border. The organization that received the letter by this mother has many names of people they have found dead in the desert while crossing the border. They do this to let people know in Mexico that their family member has passed away. Diana and I think that this a tragedy that keeps happening and will continue happening because there is people still looking for that American Dream and risk their lives to cross the border.
