Read through your classmates' nominations (in the previous post) and select FIVE people/characters that you think BEST fit the criteria of a Tragic Hero.
**Don't make your choices based on how much you like the person (either the character or your classmate) but based on how well the blog post supports the assertion that the character is a Tragic Hero.**
List the 5 names (in no particular order) and sign your name!
