Question

please and thank you

Answer 1

I've never read either of these books, but here are some ideas for you:

1. Make sure you are clear on the definition of tragedy, as you intend to use it in comparing these two works.
http://www.google.com/search?q=define+tragedy+in+literature&oq=define+tragedy+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.6987j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=119&ie=UTF-8

2. Take two sheets of paper, one for each of the books. On each sheet, list the elements of tragedy according to the definition you are using.

3. Using those two lists, find the elements that the two books have in common. Identify them with corresponding highlighter colors.

4. Now you're ready to go through the writing process:
4a. Draft your thesis statement.
4b. Draft your first paragraph comparing the elements highlighted in one of the colors.
4c. Draft your second paragraph comparing the elements highlighted in another of the colors.
4d. Draft your third paragraph comparing the elements highlighted in yet another of the colors.
4e. Read through your thesis statement and 3 rough drafts of paragraphs. Revise and smooth it all out so the ideas flow smoothly, and transitions make sense.
4f. Draft your introduction, ending that paragraph with your thesis statement.
4g. Draft your conclusion.

Revise again; proofread <~~These two steps may need to be done more than one or two times!
