Correct answer:

According to Aristotle, a tragedy must center on the suffering of a tragic hero or heroine.

In his work on <em>Poetics, </em>Aristotle defines tragedy in this way: "Tragedy is a form of  drama exciting the emotions of pity and fear. Its action should be single and complete, presenting a reversal  of fortune, involving persons renowned and of superior attainments, and it should be written in poetry  embellished with every kind of artistic expression."

In his thoughts on <em>Poetics</em> (or what we would call the dramatic arts), Aristotle also asserted that every tragedy (a dramatic, serious play) contains six elements: "Plot, Character, Diction, Thought, Spectacle, Song."

1. I believe the correct answer is: social status.

 

     In these lines from the play “The Importance of Being Earnest”, written by Oscar Wild, Gwendolen Fairfax says that people who live in the country lack social status.

     Gwendelon is a big-city (London in this case), sophisticated woman who views the world with the shortsightedness of the aristocratic society of Victorian era, which Oscar Wilde tend to critic. Limited by her installed aristocratic norms, Gwendelon says that she can’t grasp the idea that someone of importance can live in the country (“how anybody manages to exist in the country, if anybody who is anybody does.”) as the country lacks the social status, which is reserved for the big cities.

 

2. I believe the correct answer is: morally debased.

 

     In these lines from the play “The Importance of Being Earnest”, written by Oscar Wild, Cecily indicates that people in the city are morally debased.

     Cecily Cardew is the foil character, contrast, of the Gwendelon Fairfox, which we can see in her protectiveness of the country life, both its setting and people. She replays to Gwendelons comments of the lack of social status in country life by calling people in the city “agricultural depressed”, meaning that their decrease in moral value spread like and illness, almost like an epidemic even.

What does the radio broadcast, transcript, and video of the Hindenburg disaster show about how media affects the way people unde
ELEN [110]
The best answer here is D. Each type of broadcast is going to offer something different. While hearing a radio broadcast might seem to not convey the depth of the disaster, a video one will show how terrible it is. Usually this will make the audience more aware of the reality. The same is true to a transcript. Going back to read something that has already happened takes something from the presentation. You don't get the emotion that would be present in a radio broadcast or even a video one.
