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.

Death Of The Salesman Expression.

Personally, although I feel that Death of a Salesman is a very well written play, an intelligent criticism of the American dream that effectively uses many respected literary devices, it has never fully gripped me. Perhaps it is because there is no suspense in the play; the ending is given away in the title. It is a tragedy and the readers knows it is, so there is always that ominous shadow that nothing is going to get better and so whenever there is hope and happiness, you know it will not last.

I also do not find the premise of the story all that exciting. It is all very well making the play about a normal person, but when that everyday person does not have an interesting life, or nothing out of the ordinary happens to him, it is difficult to keep me interested. When I first saw this play, I had to miss about twenty minutes out of the middle and when I returned, I felt as if I had not missed anything. In my opinion, it is even slightly boring.

However, do not let this deter you too much from reading the play. Firstly, you could be a person who enjoys tragedy. I am not someone like that. Secondly, there is a reason why it is one of the most popular plays in American literature. People like it, I am just not one of those people who it reached out to and drew in. It is certainly a milestone in modern literature and one that should be checked out, even if it is only to educate you further in literary classics. I may not like it, but I can see why it is such an important piece of work and Miller certainly knew his stuff.

Death of a Salesman, how I feel

Before I start, what is the story called 'Death of a Salesman' about?

The story called 'Death of a Salesman' is written by Arthur Miller, who was born in New York. He wrote this story during Great Depression.

So this story, there was a 63-year-old salesman called Willy Loman. In the past, he thought lots of people liked him because if there was one call, he thought he could sell his goods. Also, he had a good wife, called Linda Loman. By earning money, he bought a house. Furthermore, he thought his sons, Biff Loman and Happy Loman, is going to be the best in the future. He was always happy. However, his tragedy started by the decreased of income, fired from his company, where he worked for 30 years, and Biff, Happy were not going to be the best salesman as what he thought about. After he betrayed by lots of people, he was sad, tired, tragedic, and other things. By getting those tragedies, he tried to commit suicide by using rubber tubing, which failed by Biff Loman. Then during one night, he used his car to overdrive and finally died. By his death, their family could earn money (you know when someone old die, you can get money from the finance centre) which was lots of money to cover the end.

How do I feel about this? Well, this story was really disaster, which made Willy Loman to die. I could also feel this kind of thing by looking at the period when Miller wrote this story. It was during Great Depression, which many people lost their jobs, tried to sell everything what they had, and mostly, committed suicide. I think in this story, Miller showed these bad things by using the character called Willy Loman, who lost his dream, money, etc. So overall, I think this story was perfectly good to learn English and History because this story showed how disaster the Great Depressions were.

Eragon

This is a fascinating story about a boy called Eragon. One day he found a dragon's egg in the forest which would change his life forever. At first he didn't know what it was so he decided to sell so that he can earn some money to buy meat for the winter. But he found out that it was a dragon's egg, he kept the dragon as a pet and name it Saphira. Unknown to him, the evil king Found out about this and sends his minions to retrieve the dragon. Due to the situation, Eragon was forced to flee. The story will start to unfold as you read on, hope you'll enjoy it.

The Secret garden

The setting and plot

After her parents' death, Mary Lennox moves to Yorkshire to live with her uncle, whom she has never met before. Living in the huge house and going around large gardens, in the morning Mary discovers a key that could open the secret garden, a garden that has been abandoned and forgotten for ten years. At night, sometimes she hears a cry in the house; however, nobody tells her the truth of that strange noise. With the help of some new friends, will Mary find out the secret behind the garden and the owner of the cry? Will she change the garden into a beautiful and happy place with colourful flowers or it is still a garden that no one enters for the next ten years? Will she change herself and have a new home where she belong to?

My opinion

Reading The secret garden inspired me with the love for nature, the thoughts about life and useful lessons for everyone. When I read it, I felt interested, curious and couldn't stop because the story was really excellent. Every word in every line is so lively and the way the author wrote is so different; therefore, the book has become wonderful and close to young readers.

After reading this book, I would recommend it to young readers because it talks about life, love and hope. They can feel that they are a part of the novel, they become characters of the story since most of young readers have the same situation with the character's. I believe that The secret garden won't make them disappointed or bored.

TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY - Jay Asher

Genre: Horror, Young adult.

Plot: Clay Jensen is a shy high school student who returns home from school one day and finds a box sitting on his doorstep. Upon opening it, he discovers that it is a shoe-box containing seven cassette tapes recorded by the late Hannah Baker, his classmate and emotional crush who recently committed suicide. The tapes is initially mailed to one classmate with instructions to pass them from one student to another, like a chain letter. On the tapes, Hannah explains to thirteen people how they played a role in her death, by giving thirteen reasons to explain her suicidal. Why is Clay one of the reasons that makes Hannah decides to end her life?

Opinion: I like this book because it's very well structured and has a clear set up. The idea of a girl who tells the story of her life before she commits suicide and sends it to a number of people is also very creative. The book also goes with a map that shows where Hannah has gone to before she takes her life which she tells the readers as we read along. That helps me to concentrate on the story so I can know where she is and it also gives me more interest as I can do something while reading otherwise I could have been more boring if I just read.

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to teenagers because Thirteen Reasons Why reveals how brutal high school can be, the consequences of spreading rumors, and the lasting effects of suicide on those left behind. No one knows for certain how much of impact they have on the lives of other people.

The Dadhunters

I started reading this story because this story's title is quite cool; The Dadhunters! I was thinking that this story is like a son hunts father. Actually, it was not that kind of thing.
This story, 'The Dadhunders' is written by Josephine Feeney. This story has 156 pages (which is much more shorter than the other books). This book was really good to read during the holiday time.

They are divorced because of the father was dating with the other girl called 'Karen'. She has a very horrible personality. After divorce, Gary thinks that his mother also needs a new husband.

Then, Gary's friend Robert has an idea about how to make them meet. Let's guess what that idea is!

Matilda by Roald Dahl

This book is about a four year old girl named Matilda. Her parents, Mr and Mrs.Wormwood, don't spend much time with her and they always think she is stupid and usesless. When she is bored, she often goes to a library. Eventhough she is only 4, she could read like a grown up.

She goes to school for the first time when she is 5 years old, her teacher, Ms.Honey is amazed about how she could do Maths better than a 5th grader.

The principle in Matilda's school doesn't like kids, she often treat students very badly, and looked down to them. One time, the principle blames her for what she didn't do. Matilda is so upset, magically, she is able to spill water on the principle with her mind.

She finds out that Ms.Honey owes the Principle alot of money. So she wants to help her out. In the class, she controls the chalk with her mind and writes on the board that "Give Ms.Honey a house to live and her wages back, and get out of here."

No one sees her again.

Mr and Mrs. Wormwood are caught by cheating on people, so they move to Italy and leave Matilda behind. Afterwards she is adopted to Ms.Honey and they lived happy.

My thought about this book: It is a fun book to read, with pictures. It is easy to understand and very interesting
