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
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.
