Articles About Entertaiment
Entertainment is a varied range of pursuits that provide pleasure, diversion or amusement. It may be as simple as doing a crossword puzzle or watching television; it may involve active participation such as playing sports or a game of music or drama; or it may be more passive, such as taking in a concert or a performance on stage. The word has its roots in the Medieval Latin intertenere, from the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix tenere, from the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch.
A famous example of entertainment is Scheherazade, the story in the Persian professional storytelling tradition about a woman who saves her life by telling her tales. Stories like these often inspire retellings in other mediums, such as music, film or video games.
