Death of a Salesman

       Death of a Salesman has all the aspects of SOAPST. It is a play so this play does not have one specific speaker. Its main speakers would be Biff, Happy, Willy, and Linda. They are the main characters in the play. The occasion of this play would be during the 1940s in Brooklyn, New York. You could easily picture life in New York because the lifestyle that is present in the play is a typical life people in the 1940s would be living. Especially the fact that during this time all the house in Brooklyn were being torn down so apartment buildings rise. The audience to this play would be anyone who is willing to read the play. That would usually be us students, or even people who are actually present when the play is being performed.
      There are multiple purposes to this play. One would be to inform to us the lifestyle that people lived through during the 1940s. Another purpose would be to tell us the economic problems family's had to overcome. Finally, the main purpose is to explain to us that we should always make our parents proud. They do everything for us, and if we becoming "people" in the real world that means everything for them. The subject of this play is also life during the 1940s which includes hardships and economic problems. There are multiple tones for this play. One would be serious, because the father is always serious when he talks. Finally the last tone would be sad and influential. It is sad because of the fact that the father got fired from his job. It is influential because it always tells us that we should make the best out of our lives and not take it to waste. 

Death of a Salesman Character

       In Death of a Salesman, the character that I correspond with the most would be Biff. Biff is a very athletic kid who had a future in sports but did not work enough to achieve his goal. He is bad in math, and does in put enough effort into his work. He is a great kid but because he saw a tragic event in his life it affected him greatly. Biff also tries his best, but sometimes he falls short. However, he really does love his dad a lot and will do anything to make his father proud.
      I relate myself to Biff because we are both very athletic. Just like Biff, I have a hope of making it to a great college to play sports. Hopefully, unlike Biff I actually make it. Both Biff and I are bad in math. However, I am not failing math and actually try my best to do better in it. A great similarity we share is laziness. Sometimes I will admit that I do become lazy, and when that happens I perform bad in school or in life. Despite that, sometimes i try really hard it I happen to fall short. This really is sad because just like him I want to make my father proud. It is true that if you do something wrong, your father will always be the first one who will be mad at you. These are the reasons that I chose Biff as my character.
