Plays
Both Death of a Salesman and American Dream are classic, and I just love both of the story. I might not have liked them two month ago, but now thinking back, I have applied them to a lot of my work without even realizing that I am doing so. I wrote three essays on Death of a Salesman and two on American Dream. These two plays have great examples to the moral of life. And even though through out the entire Death of a Salesman I don't like Willy, even now, I still don't, but he's spirit and hes care for his family has lead me to think about myself. And that I have actually slowly been pulling away from my family. Although I am not even close to what how Willy treats his family (not even close, and that's hope I never will.) But it did make me think about bonding more with the family since I will be leaving for college very soon. And American Dream is just a classic comic that whenever I think about the story I still laugh about how naive the characters are.
I didn't learn anything from this post either. I know we read Death of a Salesman and The American Dream. You could have done a quick plot summary or a quick rundown of themes, characters, pretty much anything.
ReplyDeleteLike the other entry, you seem to discuss your personal position relative to the thing being discussed. Perhaps if you focused more on the objective and logical aspects of the things being discussed, you would be better able to review the entry as a structured summary of the analysis of the works we read in class, so you could make use of it on the AP exam or recap on things you may have forgotten. You also talk about only two pieces.
ReplyDeleteThere are also the tools we've learned to analyze a work; perhaps their inclusion would also strengthen this entry as a study guide.
