The Death of a Salesman is a play which presents the severe conflicts facing the family of Willy and Linda Loman. It is to some extent argued to depict the strong attacks raised against the American capitalist system which is characterized by ruthlessness‚ hostile business policies‚ tenacity on monies and social status as a way of proving the worth of a person. Somehow‚ the play portrays the desires that people have to accumulate money for them to afford a life of comfort and be bosses of their own

Original cover art The cover of The Great Gatsby is among the most celebrated pieces of art in American literature.[9] It depicts disembodied eyes and a mouth over a blue skyline‚ with the image of a naked woman reflected in the irises. A little-known artist named Francis Cugat was commissioned to illustrate the book while Fitzgerald was in the midst of writing it. The cover was completed before the novel‚ with Fitzgerald so enamored of it that he told his publisher he had "written it into" the

Death of a Salesman Miller uses memory as a time travel device. Identify the point of view of the flashbacks. Can their integrity/validity be trusted? Cite evidence. Regardless of the setting taking place in 1948‚ Willy Loman is continuously re-living his past in the form of flashbacks. Even though Willy Loman is reminiscing over his own memory‚ the information that he is providing the readers with may not be the full truth. Many reasons may contribute to this thought; his old age can be a factor

In The Great Gatsby‚ Fitzgerald’s main innovation was to introduce a first person narrator and protagonist whose consciousness filters the story’s events. This device was not a total invention since a character through whose eyes and mind the central protagonist is discovered is to be found in two of Conrad’s books : Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. As usual with this device‚ the main protagonist remains strange and shady. This technique reinforces the mystery of the characters. The second advantage
