Death of the sales man

So far the story death of the salesman have been extremely entertaining. As the story develop, the reader would find out more about each character and how they react to each situation. The story contains lots of twist and turns that can be somewhat hard to understand. The author used real life situation to influence the book to make it seem realistic. Also he uses a lot of stage directions to show the atmosphere of the character in different situation. He successfully portrait each of the character imotion using a range of techniques the kept the audience hooked till the very end of the story

Overall impression

When i first read the book i thought that the book is a mysterious. However the book was about a man who wasnt success. I love the way the writer express about Willy and his family. Also i love the flash backs. However i dont like the story much becasue i dont like sad storys. I thought if he didnt die, the story would be become bright. The overall, the book was so dark. Any way, i love the story plots. I hoped that the story would be longer.

Impresions of death of a salesman

The book Death of a Salesman is well planned book in which the American dream is Criticized very precisely.The basic victim is Willy Loman , unsuccessful salesman who is desperate at chasing his ideals and his aspirations.The book is mostly illustrates the family and their relationships between each other, where some of the have to lie and some of them beeing too pathetic and this is all because of the concepts of American Dream.
The book is very meaningful, interesting and instructive if you can read between the lines and understand what is actually going on.I did not do that so well in most of the cases , so the book was dull to me but indeed sometimes exciting as i could understand the actual meaning and the moral of something. To be honest reading that book at once is nearly impossible as- A. you'll be very bored and fall asleep . OR B: you would not even be bothered to concentrate for so long and go do some other fun stuff. The tragic end, i would not really call it tragic since Willy was not the character who i feel sorry for( rude, inpatient, dishonest man ). Although Miller seemed to over exaggerate the problem of American Dream ,Willy's death does not really make sense as Willy himself has bunch of other options he would do if he wouldn't commit suicide like taking a new job from neighbor and get some serious money.
Well. the book was ok.Not so much of an action book where you expect a lot of turns and twists, its rather a very smooth going without any climaxes book. i myself do not like this book. if you do, go read,,

Death of a salesman

My first impression of Death of a salesman is it relates to American Dreams. The author uses a lot of slang words and make the story more interesting. But for me, I feel this book is kind of boring because there are too many characters. And I think the relationship between Willy and his family is complicated. It is happened again and again. This book is not my favorite type and I usually read adventure and horror book so I might not interested in this story. I have to read this book even I don't want to. But I still learn a lot of interesting new words, phrase and slang. I think that a good things to study Death of a salesman at school

Death of the Salesman - Overal expression

After reading Death of the Salesman, I personally feel that the book is quite boring although it is a well known play to many people. This is mainly because there are not many interesting events happening during the play except for a continuous event in the relationship of Willy's family, the main character. Furthermore, it is also an upset play as Willy died at the end of the play. Moreover, I don’t like tragedy plays or stories. I prefer more of a fiction and non fiction story. Beside, I am more interested in reading stories than plays because there is not much direct speech and I sometime understand more when reading stories than plays. Therefore, Death of the Salesman is not my favourite play.

Death of a salesman overall expression

Firstly, Death of a salesman strongly relates to the American Dream ( not satisfy for what they've had, trying to achieve things, about life,hope and especially financial problems). Moreover, author's language including slang makes it reality, powerful- shows exactly what characteristics are they. It's a tragedy through people who's trying their best but result is they lost theirs job. Consequently, committed suicide. It's an well-known old play which is famous through generation.

However, finished reading Death of a salesman I personally didn't have any interested in it. Things happen again and again. It keeps talking about Willy Loman, his relationship between his family, how's he express and about his failure. It's slightly boring. Moreover, there were such parts that I didn't understand, sudden appear of someone that i didn't know where it comes from. And the important thing that I'm not interested in this because I like adventurous and normal books, not dialogue like this. Anyway, though i don't like it, i have to study it. It's my duty to study. I think because I'm not really focusing in the play so it's hard for me but if I try I think I can understand it thoroughly. School has chosen Death of a salesman for Year 10 because there's something, I thought.

Death of a Salesman-overall expression

Death of a Salesman is a well-known play, which is about the American Dream and everything around it, life and hope. Moreover, this tragic play is famous and inspires a whole generation because it is well written with figurative language and the powerful attack inside every word. Although Death of a Salesman is an old play, people still feel close to it as a logical and practical story is set up.

However, after reading Death of a Salesman, I personally didn’t have any interest at all. I thought it was because most of my favourite books are about adventures and fighting, witches and spells, imaginative creatures and ancient myths. Besides, I couldn’t be curious as the title has told us what happen at the end of the play. Another reason is because there is no change or new detail during the series of the events. It just keeps talking about Willy Loman, how he feels, what he does and his failures. Despite the fact that this is a successful play, it is not my preferred book.
