  • Tragedy:-Tragedy is a form of drama based on human suffering that invokes in its audience an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in the viewing. While many cultures have developed forms that provoke this paradoxical response, the term tragedy often refers to specific tradition of drama that has played a unique and important role historically in the self-definition of Western civilization.

u  Song: Today –John Denver

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrow shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover, you'll know who I am by the songs that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover, who cares what tomorrow shall bring?

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.
A million tomorrow shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory, I can't live on promises winter to spring.
Today is my moment, now is my story, I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet
wine.
A million tomorrow shall all pass away, 'ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.

    Pandora's box is an artifact in Greek mythology,  taken from the myth of                                Pandora's creation in Hesiod's Works and Days. The "box" was actually a                             large jar given to Pandora, which contained all the evils of the world.
