Am I Going to Kill Myself?

     As terrible as this may sound, I find myself closely resembled by Willy Loman's character in the book. Though I'm sure many people will write that they are related to the characters Happy or Biff the most, I know that deep inside, we are all Willies trying to survive in this harsh world. I would like to believe that the world is not as bad as it seems, and that I will be as successful as I want to be in the future. I want to achieve my own dreams, just like Willy did. I do work hard every day in order to achieve these dreams, and I do my best to stay focused on accomplishing it. The only thing I hate is that Willy cheated on his wife, and that is the main difference between us.
     Though the acceptance of the truth can prove to be difficult to me, I like the fact that I still dream. Too many people have accepted the misconception that their dreams will not come true, and that dreaming will get you nowhere. Yes, I may not end up in the WNBA, but that does not mean that I cannot have the pleasure of envisioning that I will be as successful one day. I would like to think that this world is capable of being kind and forgiving. I remain optimistic in viewing Willy's perception by seeing the light in what he may have seen, instead of believing that he is just an ignorant coward unable of accepting the truth. He is merely trying to be happy. Though I may not be as ignorant of the truth as Willy, and though I do accept the reality of situatons, as much as it may pain me to do so, I still do have that little bit of hope, that little bit of belief in childish dreams' existence in me, and I would not give that up for anything in the world. After all, Walt Disney's vision of Disneyland was laughed at when he mentioned his brilliant idea of creating it to others, and it stands in it's glory today, pointing the finger to all that doubted it's existence in earlier years.

Death of a Salesman SOAPST

     Death of a Salesman is a play written by Arthur Miller set to take place in the late 1940s. This time was a time of reformation and innovation, as well as a time of struggle. Set to take place right after WWI, Death os a Salesman is surely an accurate and clear depiction of that time. The speaker of the book, as well as the main character, is Willy Loman. Willy Loman is a salesman who travels around a lot for his work. However, despite his past successes, he is not doing so well lately healthwise as well as financially. Stretches of this can be seen in the book when he is caught talking to himself due to various reasons such as his stress from work and not being able to pay off his insurance bills.
     The strory takes place mostly in Willy Loman's house, in New York, NY in 1949. Some scenes in the book can take place in other places also, like in his boss's office, or with his mistress in Boston. The audience of the story can be the reader. However, since it is a play, when it is being performed, it's audience can be the spectators sitting in the crowd to watch the play. The purpose of the story is to informteh audience about Willy Loman's family and the situations of that time. Also, the purpose can arguably be to entertain the audience with an interesting story. The subject of the story could be reachign the American dream, or the acceptance of reality compared to the denial of the truth. The overall tone of the story is modest,  but sad. The book in itself was a very good book in my opinion, and thought the first fifty pages went by slowly, the rest of the book was a breeze to read.
