SOAPST

     The Death of a Salesman was written by an American playwrite Arthur Miller 
in 1949. The play was made into a book then later turned into a movie. The play 
was dark but realistic since many people can relate. The setting started off in 
a small area with a low population that later grew into a busy town. The play 
was about the life of a man who was going through depression and the purpose was 
to entertain which is ironic. Overall, the play ended on a sad note but showed 
the readers a life of a troubled man.

Identify?

     The Death of a Salesman was an entertaining play without a happy ending. 
The story was somewhat dark and with unordinary characters. One character I find 
myself to have most in common with is Happy. He is one of the main characters in 
the play that have a big role in the story line. I find myself to be like happy 
because like him I'm always happy no matter what the situation. Happy and I both 
have brothers that are fathers give more attention to. For example my father 
knows about my future as a lawyer and he believes in me, so he spends more time 
on my younger brother to motivate him. Like happy I do try to get my fathers 
attention and in my opinion there is nothing wrong with that. The play had a 
sudden ending but described how real life can be.
