EWRT 2 HAMLET by William Shakespeare: An essay for EWRT 2
Due: Sunday January 29, 2023 Points: 100

it must be based on a play titled HAMLET by William Shakespeare

Requirements: original essay, no plagiarism; rough draft (hand edited) and final draft with evidence of editing; length: 4-5 pages. Quote appropriately from the play and cite sources. Works cited page also required. Write your own original title.

This essay requires a strong thesis with three divisions of proof which become the basis of at least three strong topic sentences in the body of the paper.

Hints to achieve a high score:
1) Detailed topic sentences that control the body paragraphs
2) Effective use of (brief) quoted passages that supply exactly the evidence you need to support your point

3)Above all, a strong thesis that flows through the entire essay

Ask “What? Then “Why?” 1) Start with a strong thesis: Hamlet’s worst choice is being an obedient child to a parent who is now “beyond the grave,” because, an adult, he is a fool to cast aside the love offered by Ophelia; to imagine he can assure his father’s “eternal rest” when the former king could not do so himself; and to believe, contrary to what he learned at the university in Germany, that violence can bring about lasting peace.

Most instructors prefer to see this full thesis statement located at the end of the introduction

(opening paragraph.)

2) Topic sentences: The first sentence of each paragraph: Each topic sentence should contain one of the divisions of proof from the thesis statement (the words underlined in the above sample thesis).

3) DON’T SIMPLY RE-TELL THE STORY!!!! Focus strictly on your divisions of proof. Summaries direct the instructor to check the internet or look elsewhere in Sparks, Cliffs Notes, etc..

4) Include a handwritten rough draft if possible…. ALWAYS HAND-EDIT A TYPED ROUGH DRAFT.

5) Avoid I and you in your essay: Except in topics where you are asked to include your own experience for comparison.

6) Essential: Always use present tense when referring to art (which includes all written narrative(story telling, poetry, etc.). Of course, this includes music, etc.
