Week 7 (Final Tragic Creation/Essay)

This week I turned in my final tragic creation. My final creation consisted of the twin towers being targeted by terrorist as well as the american flag. I feel this was a nice piece because it tied in well with my  essay. Along with this we completed our second in class essay, which was based on a book I read outside of class. The book I wrote mine on was the secret life of bees.

Tragic Creation

For my tragic creation, I have been going back and forth between a digital enhanced photo of 9/11 or either painting a picture of 9/11. The picture that I duplicate will be on selected off of the internet. Along with this I plan to write a small description on my reason for choosing my creation idea. I chose this idea to base my creation on because it is a prime example of a tragedy. Along with this, it ties into my tragedy paper.

Week 5 (Tragedy Essay)

Although tragic flaws can lead to increases of self-awareness and self-knowledge, Joseph Wood Krutch's philosophy of tragedy stricken people being happy with the end result is something I disagree with. This is because from every tragic situation, a positive ending does not come to life. For example, take the death of a loved one. The emotions of grief will remain with those who loved him. This can also be represented but the loss of an extremely important piece of jewelry or family arluene, which is something that can never be replaced. “Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.”It is a normal thing that everyone face a tragedy through their life, however it can sometimes continue to an even worse situation and never get better. Thus proving the idea of Joseph Krutch has many holes within it.

Week4 (Tragedy)

I feel that the terrorist attack on the world trade center can depict tragedy. This is because not only was it a disaster due to the destruction of the towers, but it was also a tragedy due to the fact that it was an act of terrorism. Along with this the lives of many people were lost. Some of these people were parents, siblings, and even children themselves. When you think about the attack of sep.11, it is completly tragic.

Week 3 (The Best Form of Art That Can Express Grief Is......)

The Best Form of Art That Can Express Grief  Is Literature... This is because with in literature, you can not only write and spell things out. But through reading different descriptive pieces of writing, it is easy to see the situation that stories are describing. this is because with the extreme detail, it can paint a picture with in your mind and make you feel the emotions the characters are experiencing. Film is also a way to express grief, because you follow the character throughout the story, so when something goes wrong, you somewhat feel their pain.

Week 2 (Saddest Stories/Movies)

I would have to say that I have not cried over a movie since I was young, but movies do sometimes make me extremely sad. The most recent movie that made me extremely sad was Marley and Me. I have no idea why this movie got to me, but it did. I think it was the way the story was put together. This is because Marley was the family dog that always caused trouble, however you began to love Marley through every bit of trouble Marley caused. However when The movie changed and Marley became sick, it was one of the hardest things to watch. It was because Marley was suffering and it was super sad to see. However the saddest part was the funeral where the kids were talking about Marley.

week 1 (Matrix World)

When it comes to deciding whether or not I would live in an alternate reality where I can plan my life is a strange idea to think of in general. This is because life is something that should simply be lived and embrace. I feel as if life provides both good and bad experiences in order to help people grow. Therefore plugging into a different world is a bad idea in my eyes and I chose not to do so. Although it would be nice to have things go perfect, that was not the way people were built to live their life. I feel we are met to experience everything on our own, not through a script that we chose.
