This week I learned that you get six weeks off when you have a baby. According to Matt, in France you get six months. I shouldn't be complaining, though, because at least Mr. Teacher is still here online. A noiseless, patient teacher. On a more serious note, we've been talking about tragedy this week and honestly, I'm struggling a little. The content is all fine and dandy, and I get it, but having to write about it is really hard. I don't understand what I'm supposed to be getting out of the documents. Like the essay thing we had to read yesterday. Was I supposed to summarize? Take one of his statements and wrote about it? I guess I just don't get what I'm supposed to be getting out of this. It's tragic, because I get the feeling that this shouldn't be as hard as I'm making it out to be. Not that I always compare myself to others, but it definitely seems like everyone gets it but me. I feel like they are just having a way easier time with this than I am. Obviously it's still early days, but it would be nice to know that I'm actually doing this right. Maybe my hamartia will be over-thinking things. I don't know. Probably not, but who really knows? I'm just being dramatic now and I need to stop. Do you pick out your harmartia or is it one of those things that everyone can see except for you? Does it have to be a part of you, like a character trait, or can it be one move made wrong? These are questions that I want the answer to and don't have. To Google I go! -------------------------------------------------------------- Google results said that a harmartia could more broadly be described as a wrong move, so I guess it doesn't have to be completely internal like I thought. It's a weird concept to think about though, isn't it? The fact that ONE move in all the moves a person makes could completely ruin the rest of their lives. ONE move! |
