A movie that shows <em>similar characteristics </em>to the ones that can be seen in Greek tragedies and Senecan dramas is The Passion of the Christ.

The <em>Greek tragic elements</em> that can be observed in Senecan dramas are the <em>melodramatic elements, such as killing, assassination, horror scenes</em>, that chock the reader or viewer. <em>Revenge</em> is also an important element since it is considered <em>the main plot of Seneca's plays</em>. <em>Supernatural elements</em> and the presence of the <em>underworld</em> are also important elements present in Senecan dramas. Greek tragedies usually tell the story of a<em> hero, a good person who had a terrible destiny or was misunderstood</em>. That causes <em>pity, empathy and fear</em> on the audience.

The movie The Passion of the Christ tells <em>Christ's story</em>, which is well-known throughout the world because of Christianism and the bible. That story was adapted into a movie format and shows <em>many similar characteristics to the ones in Greek tragedies and Senecan dramas</em>, such as <em>melodramatic elements</em> because the movie has <em>many horrific scenes of torture and blood-shed</em>; revenge and <em>betrail</em>, since it tells the viewer about <em>Juda's betrail that led Christ to his death</em>; <em>supernatural elements</em> because it tells about <em>Christ's resurrection</em> and his visions and <em>conversations with God</em>. Also, the movie is about <em>a hero that was misunderstood and had a terrible destiny</em>, moreover it causes <em>pity and fear</em> on the audience. Therefore, the movie presents many of the characteristics found in Senecan dramas and Greek tragedies.

Certain models have been designed to explain how we process speech. The blank in the sentence has been filled below:

  • A significant shortcoming of the three cueing systems model, compared to the four-part processing model, is that it obscures the role of <u>phonological processing</u> in word recognition.

The three cueing systems model is thought by language instructors who show that students can understand words better by examining;

  • Their semantics that is meaning of words,
  • Their syntax, and
  • Their grapho-phonics composition which is about visualization.

The four-part processing model is higher as it evaluates, meaning, context, phonology, and orthography. Phonology is not accounted for in the three cueing systems.

Answer:

The Monk's Tale is one of the stories in "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer. The pilgrims were made to each narrate a story to pass the time and this is how it came into being. One of these pilgrims is the Monk, who narrates a number of tragedy stories among the many stories he knows by heart. His stories tells of "the fall of those who stood in high degree" (The Monk's Tale).

Explanation:

In all of the stories told by the Monk, the themes of a fall of fortune all seems to resonate in them. One of those stories is that of the fall of Lucifer.

Lucifer was regarded as one of the most high angels in God's kingdom. He was even named "<em>morning star</em>". But due to his arrogance, pride and self given importance, he became overcome with so much ego. He decided to revolt against God, resulting in him being thrown out of heaven. To this day, he is still in hell, suffering for the mistakes he had committed.
