Death of a Salesman
Going into this book, I knew it would be difficult. In the previous year I saw the play “Death of a Salesmen,” which was quite confusing. I found it this way because I was very puzzled about the hallucinations, and at first had no clue why these were occurring. One of my reasons I found it complicated was probably because it was not one of the best arrangements. This now being the second time, I went into it with a more open mind and had a different appeal on things. When Biff found his father cheating on his mother, I realized it made him give up on everything he lived for. This major point in the book I did not get in the play. Watching the movie was definitely a bonus, it made vague points clear. It allowed the audience to consider the time period and also put emphasis on Willy Loman’s stress, at work and for his son. This time I really enjoyed “Death of a Salesman” and thought the movie was a great asset to the book.

Ray, i also thought "Death of a Salesman" was kind of confusing especially with all the hallucinations that were taking place. Also, i thought the movie was a bonus to explain some of the things i was not quite sure about that i read in the book. You made a good point by saying when Biff found his father cheating on his mother it made him give up on everything he lived for, i feel that is the whole cause for the book. Great post..
