Summary

This quote, often attributed to Aristotle, describes the essential structure of tragedy. According to Aristotle, tragedy is an artistic representation that encompasses a full and significant event. It suggests that a tragedy should have a clear and coherent structure with a beginning, middle, and end. This implies that a tragedy should not be fragmented or disjointed but should present a unified and complete narrative. By achieving this structural integrity, tragedy can effectively engage and move its audience.

Somehow he Tim gets thoughtful sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.

For one of the first pressures that bear down on American girls is the pressure not only to be liked but to be everyone else. This initial feat of self-transformation often involves loosening one's grip on that quiet sense of inner self and hitching one's wagon to a single standard of beauty.
