Entertaiment is about having fun and distracting yourself from the worries of life. Whether that means a clown at a birthday party, a Broadway show, a stadium rock concert or your friends fighting over the last potato chip–any activity that amuses or distracts is entertainment. The word comes from the French verb entretenir (to hold together) and was originally associated with hospitality. One of the most famous examples of entertainment is Scheherazade, a tale from the Persian professional storytelling tradition that inspired orchestral music by Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel, a film adaptation and an innovative video game.
