This nobody just fell for you, you must be blue. But you're still happy and that made a little sappy.

Reflections (shebeh reflection) ...

Ibrahim, Rabee and Fayafi's presentation:

Personally I loved the presentation only because I won in Jeopardy. 

Just kidding :)

The presentation gave a very clear and interesting outlook on one of the most important aspects in the Ancient Greek culture. Understanding the most important values and the deadliest sins increases our overall understanding of the play. For example, it helps in characterization because now we can analyze a character's relationship with society and its rules. Medea technically goes against society when she kills her children, because "blood guilt" , as Rabee mentioned, is one of the deadliest sins.  

As for Ibrahim's discussion on the Greek Gods, it aids us in comprehending the cultural context in the play (despite the fact that there is no actual scene in the play that includes a god or goddess)

Serene and Danna's Presentation:

Serene and Danna's presentation was great! (knowing that phoebe buffay's songs in FRIENDS resemble a chorus made my life a little bit better) The presentation thoroughly explained to us the function of the chorus and thus we can use it to analyze the function of the chorus in Medea specifically. We talked about how the choice of a female chorus is atypical, and Serene mentioned an interesting point about how having a female chorus allows a more intimate relationship between the chorus and the protagonist (since the protagonist is a female). They also mentioned how a chorus holds a specific attitude towards an event or character... In Medea, a shift in attitude takes place where at the beginning we see the chorus sympathizing with Medea and by the end of the play they question her actions and disapprove of them. 

Yara and Mohammed's Presentation:

Yara "Aflatoneh"

:D

Their presentation was really cool, I liked how they took Sophocles' definition of "tragedy" and analyzed each part, because it helped me understand the type of play we are dealing with. During the presentation we analyzed the catharsis of emotions, something with an L , and if the characters are simple or complex. This  of course helps in our understanding of basically everything (characters, events...)

I don't want...

a boyfriend. I don't want to fall in love, yet. I won't search for it either. It will come to me in God's timing. God will prepare me for him, and him for me. And I don't think I'm ready for any of that stuff yet. When I do fall in love I want it to be mature, patient, and kind. Truly, I would rather have a best friend than a lover. I rather trust someone with my life, than my heart. If that even makes sense. And when I fall in love I don't want all those corny things in the movies, that's weird. Anyway, I think I'll be waiting a looooooooooong time until that. Everything will fall into place in God's time, not mine.
