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.
Answer:
To "bear witness" the living can prevent the tragic story of the ghost boys from being repeated with living children and this can contribute to a better world.
Explanation:
This question is about "Ghost Boys" a book written by Jewell Parker Rhodes that tells the story of Jerome, a twelve-year-old boy who was killed when a police officer shot him when he mistook Jerome's toy for a real gun. Jerome became a ghost and saw all the suffering that his family went through with his death. Thus, he decided to form a group with other ghost boys and show some living people the tragic stories that caused their death. This is because only these humans can develop real changes in the world, helping other children not to go through the same injustices that they did and preventing more families from suffering.

<span>Jonathan Swift had already been very strong in his criticism of England and its injustices toward Ireland when he wrote "A Modest Proposal." His satirical writing style was already well-known in such work as "Gulliver's Travels." In this particular pamphlet, he chooses to use babies, a sector of humanity virtually no one would disparage for their helplessness, to blame for being a burden on society. The reader is thus alerted early on to the ironical nature of this work and the fact the message is the opposite of what the words themselves say. When he reaches the point of actually suggesting eating young children- young because the teenagers are too tough- readers know he cannot be taken literally</span>
From the above excerpt, it can be learned about the ancient Greeks that:
They believed the gluttony and disobedience are negative traits.
They believed that the gods punish people for acting badly.
They believed in the importance of strength in battle.
Odysseus tells about his men who ate the sheep and drank the wine until their stomach was full. After they were full the Cicones' army attacked them which was a consequence of the butcher nature of his men. Greeks had the idea that the punishment for gluttony and disobedience is sure to come. They believed that one should be brave and fearless while fighting in a battle. For them, the God was omniscient who rewarded or punished people of their dead.
