[QUOTE="Kmarie, post: 2440529, member: 306492"] Review the use of semicolons as well as proper title treatment (italicize play titles). In sentence 1, "hatred" does not fit as it is a noun and should be an adj. in order to describe "plays," a noun. In sent. 2, "emotions" are not abilities. Sent. 3 is repetitive-- "He presents tragedy...in tragedy"-- it's kind of a "well, no duh.." kind of statement. The rest of paragraph follows the same as the above sentences. Just locate your subject noun, make sure it fits with your verb, and double check the predicate of the sentence to be sure it makes sense with the noun. The content, itself, is fine-- I can understand the direction of the paper, etc. Just grammatical stuff. Very best of luck! :) [/QUOTE]
