monday's post

so i left off with willy and howard,and willy was begging for his job.howard finally let willy go,which i kinda agree with.willy needs that break,but it just sucks that he can't pay for everything.

then willy goes back into his head and he talks with ben.this part is like what he wished happened,he's looking back on an opportunity that ben had for him,and he's thinking how he might have been better off with working with ben.which he might have,but he let his wife talk him out of it.i think willy is now regretting a lot of his life because he thinks it would have changed his current state.

i think ben is the man willy has always wanted to be.and now willy is talking to ben in his head when he really feels down.ben is like his constant comparison to himself.

plus i think willy compares himself to biff too.how he kinda failed biff,because he pressured him into playing this really big football game basically for his future.and we learn later on why biff and willy have so many problems.something happened when biff failed math that caused willy to do or say something that caused biff to not go to summer school.i really want to know what exactly happened.

then willy goes back to the present and goes to charley's house to get money,and he talks to bernard.who again i think he compares himself and his sons especially to.bernard was always smart and worked to get very successful.willy thinks that biff could have been as successful as bernard.especially because they were so close.

 

charley is what willy wanted to be with his normal job,just this easy life,after he works hard for a long time he can retire and just live an easier life.rather than have financial problems and have to ask for money weekly.but to have the freedom to have money to give out.

 

then the family has their dinner.happy i think is the one loman boy that can support himself and possibly his family if he had to.or the family history could repeat its self.happy going to support his own family and work to support his parents,working himself to the bone like willy does.while biff ends up traveling and enjoying life like ben does.

today we really only went over schedual.which i now have all fixed in my phone/calender agenda thing.and today we continued our debate about musical theatre as art.and even though i was told not to talk at one point because of my voice,i still participated in the debate.

thursday’s post

willy goes to talk to his boss howard.i think this scene shows how old willy is and how this newer generation is ahead of him.

howard will have his form of the american dream because he just goes with it.willy tried to force this dream on to himslef and his family.howard just seems like someone who appreciates the small things.like his son and daughter’s voices,and laughing with his wife.its not all about money for him.but that could also be because he has money and a successful job from his father.who might have been exactly like willy,and he ended up dying.maybe willy’s on that same path.

and when you think about it thats the difference between willy and his sons.the younger generation has a different american dream than the older generation.just different things happen for them.the same things happen in todays world too.

and i like how willy is afraid of the recorder.its like the older generation today,and how its stereotypical to think that they know nothing about technology.

wednesday’s post

so begining act 2.

well i thought more about linda and willy’s marriage.it seems like willy has become this work machine and is staying with linda because its easier than divorcing and moving on to someone else.while linda has only grown more in love with willy.she’s completely head over heals while willy is so over her.willy might have been in love with linda as part of his happy family dream,but now he’s pver and done with her i think.willy is only in it to see his light at the end of the tunnel before he dies.

willy doesn’t even want his wife saving money,he wants her to be able to have that free will as if they were rich.he wants to own everything and just be settled in his life.he’s 60 years old and he’s finally starting to stand up in his job,while he’s not going all that great anyway.i want to know what going to happen at his job,why hasn’t he retired yet?couldn’t they down size or simplify their life in some way were willy could just relax?i think miller is trying to say something about how americans just kinda waste their lives for what?material possessions? but you can be perfectly happy with just living out your life.
