Western Civ 4/1 - Greek Theater

There were tragedies - a play where something tragic happens. There were comedies - a play where they usually made fun of common ideas (politics). The only movie I can think of that I recently watched is The Conjuring. I think this movie would be leaning more towards tragedy. The hero of the story would be the mother, who then is too focused on her children instead of herself and gets possessed by a spirit.

Christiana mall in Delaware was supposed to open today (June 1, 2020) but now is delayed because they don’t want to get looted like another Delaware mall. I spent multiple hours last night watching the rioting, and from what I saw and what was broadcasted on the news this morning, the cops are the reason they become violent. It was the same pattern in nearly every city, people would be peacefully protesting, the cops would show up ...
