**Tragedy**
Matt Lagier

Tragedy affects everyone, and there is no way to avoid it. Oxford Dictionary defines tragedy as a "sad event, serious action or calamity"(Thomas 1). Tragedy can take many forms, all depending on the perspective and the severity of the action. Tragedy also depends on ones point of view. A tragedy to one could be different than a tragedy to others. Although some tragedies are universal to a group of people, such as 9/11. Using this, failing an exam might be a tragedy to one, yet not to everyone.
