This week we spent most of our time reading the play Oedipus the King. I really enjoyed this play because it's refreshing to read something that doesn't have to have a happy ending. I think this play really helped me understand tragedy because the events that took place included making an innocent man with good intentions kill his father and marry his mother and then forcing him and his family to suffer for the rest of their lives. Now if that isn't tragic then I don't know what is! We also worked our POW A Noiseless Patient Spider. This poem was pretty short and when writing my essay I found that I didn't have a lot to elaborate on. I was finished ten minutes before the timer and then tried going through an adding more details but I found this to be a bit difficult. |
