Must be in MLA formatting (12pt. font, header, running head, works cited page, times new roman, double-spaced, etc.).
900-1100 words.
The introduction should include general context before delving into your thesis statement.
The essay should compare and contrast Willy and his sons from the play “Death of a Salesman” play.
This would be a fairly simple structure (Body 1): Character analysis of Willy. (Body 2): C/C of Willy to Biff. The first half of the paragraph – How Biff is different from his father. The second half of the paragraph – How Biff is similar to his father. (Body 3): C/C of Willy to Happy. The first half of the paragraph – How Happy is different. The second half of the paragraph – How Happy is similar.
(Notice that the C/C does not compare the boys to each other; I don’t want to know about that. There’s a larger scheme at hand: they are both one half of their father.)
When citing “Death of a Salesman” in-text, use the poetry guidelines.
When citing the line numbers in-text, use the format of (Act.Scene.Line).
Use two outside sources, preferably scholarly. They don’t need to be journal articles from JSTOR, but don’t use eNotes, sparknotes, cliffs notes, prezia, etc. I will not count those as sources.
