Death of a Salesman SOAPST

   Death of a Salesman is a unique book. It showed the audience the American Life. It mainly focused on the American Dream, and it only becomes reality with hard work. The author of the play is Arthur Miller, he is also the speaker.The story/play takes place in the late 1940-s at New York. During this time, people from all around the world would come to America, just to make their dreams come true. The Loman family lived in a house, surrounded by large apartment buildings.
    This book/play has two audiences. One, is the reader, who is enjoying the book. The second audience are the people who atually went and saw the play.The purpose of the play was to entertain the reader, and inform this generation what type of life people had in the forties. It showed the reader,the different goals and perspectives people had during that time. The subject of the story is the American Dream and the hardships of making it true. Overall this play was written in a very understandable way. I do not like reading books, but this play was actually fun to read.

Happy Loman

     Death of a Salesman had many characters. The Loman family was very interesting. One character that i can relate to is Happy Loman. Happy Loman was a very "happy" boy. He was the youngest in the family, just like me. Happy always tries to make the people around him happy and satisfied. Throughout my life, I have always tried to make everyone happy, so that I would be satisfied, but then I realized that this concept does not completely work. Everyone was happy, except me. I think, Happy had the same problem. Both, Happy and I strive to reach success. I try to get good grades, so I can attend a good University and hopefully someday become successful. Happy always tried, to be perfect, but he was stuck behind Biff's shadow.
      Biff was trying to become successful, so he can gain his father's attention. I want to become successful, so I can be happy and satisfied with what I have accomplished. I am the youngest one in the Mehserdjian family. Sometimes, I do get stuck behind Sanan's shadow, especially when she gets good grades, but it does not bring me down. It makes me want to work even harder, so i can outshine everyone in life.
