According to Aristotle, both tragedy and epic are forms of imitation. Tragedy imitates directly by means of mimesis and epic both directly and indirectly by means of mimesis and diegesis. While epic imitates solely by means of words, tragedy also imitates by means of spectacle. Both epic and tragedy portray people better or greater than the average spectator, unlike comedy which portrays people as worse than they actually are and uses humour to dissuade us from acting badly (Aristotle's lost treatise on comedy may be summarized in the Tractatus Coislinianus; see also Eco, The Name of the Rose for interesting view of Aristotle on comedy)

Due to practical constraints of production, tragedy ideally has a single unified action which is often restricted to a specific time and place. and a small n umber of characters, while epic has a broader scope of coverage.

What animal did the native american of the great plains region use for food and clothing?
nignag [31]

The correct answer is - bison.

The Native Americans that were living on the Great Plains were heavily engaged into hunting bison, and were heavily dependent for survival on the bison meat as a food source, and the fur as a material for making clothes. Unfortunately, this led over time to a significant decrease in the number of bison herds on the Great Plains.
