Drama


Well i think that Drama can be showed in many different ways and it can be good or bad. In our school Drama is meant as fights or arguments between 2 different people. What i think about drama when people mention it to me is that someone is going to fix some problems in a bad way such as fights or maybe just start talking negative things about other people. I believe that everyone has a different perspective of Drama. For example one day, one of my friends told me that there's was going to be drama in the park and i thought that someone was going to start something and fight. I was correct although i never knew who it was going to be between until another of my friend told me the whole story of how it started and how it ended. Another example from our school is when people from our school wanted to fight with another school and they where also going to go to the park to handle there business.

What i think about literature drama is that its also similar to Drama in real live such as when Anne Frank the Play when Mrs. Van Daan and Mr. Van Dann where arguing about Mr Van Daan smoking.
