Does each body paragraph include a topic sentence, explanation, evidence  and analysis ? If not, mark the paragraphs with missing items and discuss options for quotes.

Read playwright Arthur Miller’s short essay, “Tragedy and the Common Man” (, and apply Miller’s ideas/principles to Troy or Rose. Compare these principles with how they apply to a traditional Greek play. Write an essay analyzing Troy as a tragic hero or Rose as a heroine. Use evidence from Miller’s essay, a Greek play, and Fences to support your points.

Also must comply with these rules
1.Introduction
Does the introduction include a hook, background on the play/theme or the writer’s background(for the
biography prompt) and thesis statement? If not, discuss what’s missing or
needs to be clarified.
Is the thesis in third person (no “you” or “I”) and does it state a claim about
the play, its characters, or the playwright’s intentions? If not, discuss how
to improve it.
Underline the statement and each topic sentence. Do the topic sentences all relate directly back to the tstatement? Mark any that don’t and discuss.

2.Body Paragraphs
Does each body paragraph include a topic sentence, explanation, evidence  and analysis ? If not, mark the paragraphs with missing items and discuss options for quotes.

3.Readability/Style
Problem areas
a. Spelling b. capitalization c. italics/quotes d. verb tense e. homonyms f. missing words g. fragments h. run-on
Mark or help the writer use detailed description for his or her evidence.
Is the title of the play in italics, not quotation marks?
Are the characters names all spelled correctly, capitalized?
Does the writer use MLA formatting and layout for margins, page numbers, font size, in-text citations and a works cited page?

4.Reminders
Avoid the second-person “you” perspective throughout the paper.
When quoting dialogue from a play more one speaker, indent the speaker names 1 inch from the left margin. Write the name of the speakers in all capitals, followed by a period.
For example:
TROY. Truth or illusion, Bono; you don’t know the difference.
BONO. No, but we must carry on as though we did.
TROY. Amen.
(Wilson 20 1.3) (this means page 20 act 1 scene 3) There are variations for citing plays, and I’m okay with any of them.
