Some key take aways I have had since the beginning of the play is the link between a lot of greek theatre. I learned that many components of greek theatre have similarities that ultimately define the style of the theatre productions made in ancient Greece. The idea of Hubris shows distinctively in Greek plays. I […]

Diary Entry of Oedipus
The man Tiresus has slandered my name! How dare he blame me, Oedipus of Thebes as the murder? Me? The very man seeking for the murder of Laius? Has he got no basic knowledge to understand I would not be searching for the murder if it was really myself? He speaks mere nonsense and his […]
My Personal Statement
I stood on the grey pavement of concrete, feeling the blazing sun rays hitting my skin. It was a sunny day in the small town of South Korea, with skies like a void of blue swatches, and the usual white cotton fuzz hung above gone from its usual position. I grasped the shining metal bar […]
How violence is portrayed in the play?
Violence is apparent within the play Romeo and Juliet. This violence is pretty clear, and it comes from the Capulet and Montague house feud that is shown within this play (this causes the major issue within the play). This theme is outlined clearly, even from the prologue. Some examples from the prologue sonnet are; “from […]
Reflection on Short Stories
The Necklace Guy de Maupassant I have actually read this before, and I found it very fascinating, which lead me to read it again to understand it deeper. I find this story really interesting and like the majority of the readers would; I pitied Madame Loisel and Mr. Loisel for going through the troubles of […]

Could we ever find a good depiction of ourselves? Today, the distinction between each individual’s social mirrors has been quite extensive. The variance in the representation of many people on media has been vast, and this has been according to the person’s sense of belonging to either minority or majority in society. According to […]
Hanna Alkaf Reflection
This English session with Ms. Hanna Alkaf was significant to me as I, a few nights before, read the webtoon version of her story, and found it very captivating and exciting. The character not only made me realize it’s problems, I could relate to it as I also realized I have OCD. So naturally, I […]

On Day 1 of the Human Carousel, I participated in a visiting of two people who had very extraordinary stories to tell. “I learnt how to swim… for an Iron Man Competition!” An IB teacher named Ms. Couture came in spoke about how she learned to swim just for an Iron Man competition. An Iron […]
