July 14
I started reading Death of a Salesman in July but didn't make this blog for the assignment until now. Thats why it says July 14. so I started reading and was treated to a nice descriptive passage about the intro of the play. It gave us readers a nice background of the setting of the Lomans home. It describes in detail the exact amount of fixtures and furniture in the house. After those few paragraphs, we're introduced to the main character Willy Loman.
We learn that he is a salesman and that his most recent trip did not yield high results. We also see Willy's wife, Linda who appears to be a kind and caring sort of individual. They start to get into a argument about their sons, Biff and Happy. Willy seems to complain a lot especially about his older son Biff. Biff had gone out to the West to work and came back because he didnt feel that he was getting anywhere. Now he came back and feels even more that he's wasting his life.
