English Drama Essay on Death of a Salesman. I prefer wording be less “formal”, more relaxed. Will include attachments incuding the prewriting
750-1250 word essay should follow your plan laid out in the Drama Prewriting according to one of the following
topics:
Choose one of the plays from the reading list and write an essay focusing on three themes, symbols, or literary devices present within the text.
In order to support your thesis, you must incorporate research from 3 secondary sources from Credo Reference, and/or reputable sources (Wikipedia, Shmoop, Cliffs Notes, Lit Charts, etc. are NOT reputable sources). However, you may use any article or cited Power Point resources provided to you. (I AM INCLUDING THESE AS ATTACHMENTS)
Remember that a secondary source is an article source besides the play that you are analyzing.
The essay must be set up in MLA style and contain a Works Cited page citing both your play (primary source) and your research article sources (secondary sources). These sources must also be cited in the body of your paper beside the information taken from the source.
Like any five-paragraph essay, this essay will have an introduction paragraph that ends with a three-part thesis statement establishing the three main literary elements of discussion.
The three body paragraphs will contain 8-11 sentences, and each will address in the same order the elements presented in the thesis statement. Each body paragraph should contain a topic and concluding sentence as well as transitions to help the reader move from one idea to the next.
The concluding paragraph will restate the three main elements discussed as well as the name of the play and playwright.
Your audience members have read the plays in this module, so do not summarize the plot.
