I walked over to the refrigerator and helped
myself to the orange juice. Sarah was in the
laundry room adjacent to the kitchen. She was
talking to me about something, but I dont think I
was listening. I poured the orange juice and found
my usual seat in front of the television. On
weekend afternoons, if we were at Sarah's house,

Willy And Linda American Dream
556 words
For Willy and Linda, life's accomplishments and
sources of pleasure are simple. This statement

they lead very average lives for the time, and any
depth is ignored on their part. This little scene
exemplifies this point by showing a focus in their
lives, being the mortgage on the house. For
twenty-five years Willy and Linda have been
working to pay off their mortgage, and once they
do that, they will attain a sense of freedom, or
the "American Dr...

Death Of A Salesman Tragic Hero

writing about its relation to Greek tragedy,
usually pointing out that Willy doesn't qualify as
a tragic hero. Without mentioning his critics,
Miller replied with an essay titled 'Tragedy and
the Common Man. ' Death of a Salesman does have a

dream? I decided to ask a few people as to what
they thought it was. One person told me that the
American dream was to be rich. Another person told
me it was having a perfect family situation. The

tragic heroes. Arthur Miller himself said, I
