Drama

Read Isaiah 22-24

Isaiah 22:4 "Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people."

Drama is serious. When we read or watch a drama, we know the characters are going to go through horrible experiences or through a trauma so deep, we will wonder if they will ever recover.

A dramatic person can be funny. We might write about a person who overreacts to everything and who acts in sweeping gestures, much to the amusement of the other characters and readers.

We can use drama in our nonfiction, as well. We might write an essay about something traumatic that happened to us and how we are getting through it, or an interview or historical piece about what someone else endured.
