Answer:

Explanation:

The Ancient Greeks took their entertainment very seriously and used drama as a way of investigating the world they lived in, and what it meant to be human.

The three genres of drama were comedy, satyr plays, and most important of all, tragedy.

Comedy: The first comedies were mainly satirical and mocked men in power for their vanity and foolishness. The first master of comedy was the playwright Aristophanes. Much later Menander wrote comedies about ordinary people and made his plays more like sit-coms.

Tragedy: Tragedy dealt with the big themes of love, loss, pride, the abuse of power and the fraught relationships between men and gods. Typically the main protagonist of a tragedy commits some terrible crime without realizing how foolish and arrogant he has been. Then, as he slowly realizes his error, the world crumbles around him. The three great playwrights of tragedy were Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.

Aristotle argued that tragedy cleansed the heart through pity and terror, purging us of our petty concerns and worries by making us aware that there can be nobility in suffering. He called this experience 'catharsis'.

write a letter to your mp telling him about three things you need in your community electricity, water and road​
loris [4]

Answer:

I'm not sure what you're trying to ask me to do-either actually write a letter to whoever you're referring to, or just write one here for you to copy down and send to whoever you would like to send it to. I'll write it down here, I suppose...

Dear [whoever you're trying to send this to],

Hello. I would like to address you about 3 things. Our community is in need of fresh, running water, working electricity, and roads for us to travel by. We would appreciate getting fresh water to cook, clean, and drink properly, without fearing drinking toxic materials, and polluted/dirtied water. Working electricity would be a HUGE lift off our shoulders. This could help us boil water without having to risk burning ourselves with fire, do the laundry, and everyday things, such as watching TV, and having daily pleasures that other people may have that we don't. Roads would be amazing. They would help us avoid getting lost to places we don't know, and we would know exactly where we'd be heading if we had marked out routes. Please take this into consideration, and thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

[your name here].

Hope this helps! :]

Sav [38]

Answer:

The speaker, most likely a fisherman, describes the act of pulling a fish from the water to discover that a hawk´s bones are attached to it.

Explanation:

The tone in the first section of the poem is grim. The speaker describes the most gruesome part of nature: the death of both the fish and the hawk. The first one lacking the water it needs to survive, the other most likely swallowed by the current. In the second part of the poem, the speaker turns to a more cheerful tone to describe the beauty of water.
