INTRODUCTIONS & CONCLUSIONS

INTRODUCTION The introduction has 3 distinct parts. Motivator = green It is green because it is the calm cool collected beginning to your essay. Remember that it is the first sentence of the prompt and you can use it in your essay. Thesis = red It is red because it is the “hot” part of the introduction. It tells the reader what the essay is about. Remember to include the author and title of the work. Blueprint = blue It is the deep blue ocean between the continents of the introduction and conclusion. It clearly states what is discussed in each body paragraph.

INTRODUCTION (cont.) Starting with the Greeks, playwrights have written comedies and tragedies. Tragedies were extremely popular then as now, and Aristotle stated some of the qualities that a tragic hero must have. William Shakespeare in his play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar clearly establishes Caesar as the tragic hero of the play. Caesar fits the criteria for a tragic hero because he is a man of high rank in society whose fate works against him, he has a tragic flaw, and his actions cause the audience to experience a catharsis. motivator blueprint thesis
