The Death of A Salesman

 When first encountering the novel or play  "The Death of A Salesman," my  first impression of the book was I hope this book is fascinating I hope its not boring like all the other classical books. But after reading summaries of the book and reading a few pages into the book I really think im going to enjoy the book. The setting of the time period is in the 1920's which makes the book more intriguing to me because of its born classics in that era. The book reminds me of "The Great Gatsby," itself the crazy and while decade with a lot of drama that transpired. In the beginning of the first few pages is a man named Willy a sixty-three-year old traveling salesman who returns home from an exhausting trip. In the beginning the play starts off to be a mystery to me because Willy just came back from a trip and he has lost some sense of his memory he cannot really reminisce anything that happened from the past, so he returns home to his wife Linda where she greets him and where he meets both his sons Biff and Happy. What's so interesting is that both his two sons are the total opposites Biff is anything but lazy, and Happy who is thirty-two is more confident and successful in his work. Although Will has some sought of memory loss he stills favors Happy who is more of a workaholic than Biff. So far the book seems to be more and more interesting when reading it, but Willy himself seems to be a mystery, seems like we'll have to find out!
