I know this is silly, but this drives me nuts and I really want to understand why they do it. It's a date... September 11th. Or it would be proper to say "nine eleven". So why do some people on TV and elsewhere call it "nine one one"? Are they just stupid? Are they thinking of the emergency phone number or something? You don't refer to any other dates that way... for example, today is January 22nd. You could call it "1-22". Nobody is going to call it "one two two".

Tragedy has nothing to do with 9/11 Read the followings and you decide for yourself
A tragic hero is one who, on his own volition, attempts to attain or protect a value despite the fact that he knows he is risking his life to that end and loses his or her life during that risky struggle for the value which he sees to be higher than his or her own life.
Read carefully and decide if it is the suicidal bombers or the Americans experienced a tragedy
Let me sort out the characteristics for you:
He should be well informed about his situation.
He should deliberately attempt to accomplish a virtuous act.
He must be sane to risk his life in exchange of the value he seeks for.
He must lose his life or a precious asset in his life or he must suffer at the end of his action.
If somebody tells you something different about what tragedy is, just spit at his or her face...
Good luck with your homework..
If you have any further question to ask, just ask me....
"Nietzche and Hegel are "nobodies" for me in this respect" ....
Aristotle as far as the poetics is concerned is not even a "nobody"
Tragic flaw is misjudgement or miscalculation. It is a slight error which wouldnt otherwise make a tragic person a base one. But a true tragic hero doesnt need to have a tragic flaw at all. Does Antigone have a tragic flaw? NOOOO... What about Oedipus? NOOOOO...
