One work that i read that has to do with Tragedy is a short story. The name of the story is"lamb of the slaughter.Ithink this story was based on tragedy because in this story the women is obsessed with her husband and who would think that this story would end with such a ironic ending . The murderer of her own husband was his wife......

I think that a movie Save The Last Dance is a tragedy because it is a story about a young women who fails in her disire to dance when her mother passes away.

A dramatic composition, often in verse, dealing with a serious or somber theme, typically that of a great person destined through a flaw of character or conflict with some overpowering force, as fate or society, to downfall or destruction. The tradegy in Save the last dance was very simple. Ayoung girl gave up on her all time dream because of her mothers death. She never had faith in herself. Then love made everything change for her...She felt like noone believed in her....and a young gentlemen
led her to overcome her dream. I believe it fits with the definition because the tradegy of her mothers death shut down her axpects on life.

"Scarface" is one of the movies i know that end in tragedy. Tony Montana the antagonit is a political prosinor that moves up from a prisonor to a working man. His job was basically to sell drugs and stuff. Then he gets involved with the drug using and things like. He did find his wife but he did not take good care of her. After he got all he wanted, "power, money and respect" He lost everything because he was killed in his own home

Well a tragedy is the story of a men or a women who fall because of a tragedy flaw. Bodega Dreams , By Ernesto Quinonez is a tragedy because is the story of a men that has a dream for his town and his people and his dream ends up destroying him because he became a paradox. In the end he gets killed by his own people and his dreams were never fulfilled. Sthefany Capellan

A tragedy is the movie scarface. It's a tragedy because Tony Montana rose from nothing to being a kingpin of coke. But he fell because he did'nt want to kill a man because the man was with his wife and kid. So the boss (Sosa,that sent him to kill the man) killed tony becuse the man that was supposed to be murdered let out information that would incriminate Sosa. Thus possibly getting Sosa arrested.

One work that i beleive is a tragedy is the movie ScarFace.Its about a Cuban man who through the story becomes a notorius gangster.Its a tragedy because he was like the top drug dealer in Miami and never got caught because he had so many fronts.Another thing that makes it a tragedy is that at the end he is killed by one of his former connect's people.

The Great Gatsby is a tragedy because he dies without other people knowing what truly happened. It was a complete misunderstanding.

The book "The Auto Biography of Malcolm X" is a Tradegy. In Malcolm's life there was a time where he was doing great,but falls into drugs and into jail.This is why it fits the defenition of a tradegy.

Im ny opinioni think that "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" by Alex Haley is a tragedy. The reason why i said this is because his whole life was complicated. Always had mad problems. At the end when everything was going great, when he was having that big metamorphosis, being a good leader, he was killed. This why i think "Malcom X" is a tragedy.

I think that a ''Tragedy'' is a theme of a story that it cause unhappy or mysteries effect. Well, I think that the Story of ''Malcolm X'' by Alex Haley it a tragedy. This story is a autobiography. His life was fall of mysteries and complicated. He had the alot of doubts. When he was going good and throught all his ideas were spread in good,and then they killed him.That why i think this autobiography can relayed to a meaning of Tragedy.

I believe the movie "O" is a tragedy. It's
a movie of the modern day version of the book Othello by William Shakespeare. The reason why I believe it's a tragedy because Othello and Desdemona were crazy in love but not only Othello murdered the love of his life but he also commited suicide because of a lie which turned into a whole big misunderstanding.

The novel True to the Game written by Terri Woods is a tragedy. The reason I believe this book is a tragedy is because the main character Gena and her boyfriend Quadir both work hard to get to the top of the game and when they finally reach the top their whole world came crashing down before their eyes. At the end of this story Quadir dies .To me this story was a real tragedy.

His father dies by the hands of his own uncle and then marries Hamlet's mom.Hamlets father's ghost comes back and tell Hamlet about who really killed him and tells Hamlet to kill his uncle. Hamlets tragic flaw is that he is too scared to kill his unlce because he takes so long to do so and ends up dieing in the outcome..

The novel Dutch would be an example of a tragedy.This is a tragedy because in this book the main character was a huslter who was on top of his game and didn't trust anybody because he felt like he was in the world by himself, until this girl came along and change his whole prespective of trust. He felt like he could finally trust some one and when he did, that person dogged him out and brought him to the lowest of his being.This is an example of a tragedy. The main characters start at the top and end up at the lowest point ever because of heir own actions.

One movie that I have seen is "scare face". the reason why it's a tragity is because he was a drug lord. He was making so much money and it was effecting a lot of people because of the drugs. Tony Montana that was the maine character had so many canects witch means drug providers. Cubans were plotting a way to stop Tony so they set up a barricade. they figured if they can get him off the streets or even kill him it can stop the drug process that was going on.They desided to kill him and it took lots of them to do.

One example of storytelling that I beleive is a tragedy would be Malcom X. I beleive this because Malcom X was a hero because he tried to have equal rights between the blacks and the whites. Even after all he did Malcom X ended up dying by a shot wound.
