Greek Tragedy

So today in Ms. Hegeman class we were discussing Greek tragedy. Personally I don't like writings that were used in the early years because sometimes it's hard for me to understand it and, it can be boring and dramatic. I learned that the chorus was a major part in the plays during the early years, they kind of set the mood for the audience and tell them what to do like clap and etc. We also discussed how will entertainment be like in 500 years from now. 500 years from now is a long time but I think that entertainment will not be broken down into categories; what I mean by this is today we have different genres like drama, tragedy, and comedy. 500 years from now I don't think we would have that. Entertainment would kind of be extra because know its already extra so I can already imagine it later on in life. Going back to Greek tragedy the reason why I say that its dramatic is because the protagonist (main character) do things that is uncalled for. An example of this is shown in the play Othello when Romeo killed himself because the messenger forgot to tell him that Desdemona took a sleeping drink and she was sound asleep. To me that was unnecessary because even though he loved her a lot, killing yourself for love is a little crazy.

 

For some reason Greek Tragedy has that main concept where the main character of a tragedy commits a terrible crime without realizing how foolish and arrogant they were being. Also the character's flaw must result from something that is also a central virtue ( good quality). One thing that I dislike about Greek tragedy is that women were not allow to participate in anything so men were empower in everything.

What is Kamali Passionate about?

When I think about the things that I am passionate about the first thing that comes to my little mind is people and helping them out. I have always been that type of person who is willing to help others no matter what it is. I have an open, friendly, and nice personality which makes it easy for me to get along with others. I truly discovered my passion when I went to Guatemala this summer for a community service trip. I was building a wall and doing a reading workshop with the kids who were members of the library. I felt very happy and motivated to know that the little things that I was doing for them made the kids excited and thankful.
School to them was very important and they loved being in that environment, so it meant a lot to them that I was fixing their school. During the reading workshop the kids were interested in the readings, and my favorite part was doing the puzzle with them. Although some of the kids didn't speak Spanish or English we were able to communicate through our smiles. Being in Guatemala made me think about having a career working with children or adolescents.

When I get older I want to become a child psychologist. I know I know I have my whole life to plan what I want to be and I also know that things might change, but one thing that I know won't change is my passion for helping people. I enjoy working with kids/ adolescents and I want to help them overcome whatever challenges they are facing in their life. People tell me that being a psychologist is a hard job to do because some of the things that I may hear might be too much for me, but I am willing to go through that. I am willing to make a difference in someone else's life and I want to show them that there is always a light in a dark room - you just have to be  willing to find that light. Whatever hardships they are facing in life I want them to look inside of themselves and find that hope that will push them to become better individuals for the future. The passion that I have for working with people helps me find the goodness in myself. I admire the fact that  I am willing to be that hope that changes somebody's life. The feeling of making someone smile feels good when you know that you were the reason why. I got this feeling when I was in Guatemala and it made me feel great. I didn't give them a lot but the kids were still satisfied with the little that I did for them.
