1. The main and really only dramas that were played back then was comedy and tragedy. Tragedy was more of the serious drama about more of the common themes such as love hate and war. Comedy  contained scenes with " slapstick situations and crude humor"

2. I feel like if I was in a John Carroll play but I was also the director I would try and make the play pretty funny. I feel like a comedy play would be more entertaining. little easier to make. I also feel like it would be similar to the the greek play because I would put the characters in slapstick situations. Greek also some times made fun of politics which I feel like would be funny but I don't know if I would do that because people are really sensitive and if you portray something that you don't agree with they could get mad.




3.

I feel like it is crazy how big this was and how many people it could fit at one time. I also can't believe this many people went to it a lot and enjoyed it so much that they wanted to keep going back for almost every play. A questions I had is how many people could a theatre like this even hold. And also I like how it is outside so it could be a nice setting for when you are watching it.

    Some of the bigger Greek theaters could hold over 10,000 people. Imagine seeing a play in a venue as big as the Baltimore Arena or the Verizon Center - but with no microphones or speakers - and everyone could hear the actors!

Phillip II- King Philip II was the king of Spain, he was also known as Philip the Prudent. He ruled one of the World's largest empires to ever exist. His was king as Spain's began the Golden Age, a period of great cultural growth in a different variety of things. He also became the King of England through his marriage to Mary Tudor for four years. Some of the accomplishments he made through out his life time are he attempted to expand the power of Spain, centralize the government and protect the Catholic Church Alexander the Great- Alexander did many great things through out his life, some of the good things he did was brought a whole new way of fighting to the Greeks, and he brought to the Persians some new aspects of life that came from the Greeks. He even signaled the beginning of a new era in history known as the Hellenistic Age.  Which was crazy how one person could bring a whole new era in history. In his 15 years of conquest Alexander never lost a single battle wh

I don't really know many things about this topic but just based off reading what mr. schick had to say along with doing some of the research I found out I came to find out how pure their relationship really was. First I saw that he got this horse off a wager with his Dad. The cost of the horse was 13 talents. Which is equal to almost 182,000 U.S dollars now which is crazy. The horse passed away in 326 B.C. and most people agreed the horse died from old age not from battle wounds but no one really knows this for sure. Also from what I read it seemed like this horse was his best friend, sometimes in life you have a animal that you feel like is better then most humans in the world and this is how he felt. This horse went into battle with him, they rode around for fun, when your animal is around you this much and you are always having fun with it, it is hard not to get attached to it like this so I think this is the reason they were so close because they were always doing everything to
