Then, Sebastian would begin his day in his black, leather samurai armor at Usuki, a ninja training center to focus on his training.

    In the next paragraph, the main character becomes less formal with her language. Above she is not formal, using incomplete sentences and common language, but she is more brief. Here, we have a conversational tone, a little stream of consciousness, which continues throughout the story. The diction is still the most essential element of craft. For example, the narrator tells us, “Twenty-ninth is my stop too but I have to go all the way downtown to cash Mrs. Jessel’s check. If she pays me with a check one more time I’ll quit. Besides she never has change for carfare. Last week I went all the way to the bank with my own quarter and she had forgotten to sign the check” (Berlin 26). It is useful to ask: Why does the main character ease us into a more conversational tone and…

    In conclusion, “The Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller greatly examined the famous American Dream, theme of betrayal, as well as abandonment. In trying to achieve the American Dream, Willy took his life. The Dream consumed his world until he was no more. However, within the mindset of the American Dream, it did indeed have one positive aspect. Part of the Dream is to wish that your children amount to more in life than yourself and this is what Willy tries to do in the play. Though Willy and Biff have feelings of betrayal towards each other, both intended good will upon each other. The play has proven to be riddled with many human emotions.…

    Although, literally, a journey is a progression, either physically, psychologically or emotionally, the detours that are encountered can vary from person to person. Further it is the response of the individual to the challenges of the detours that provide lessons that may be learnt. Differing representations of journeys and their challenges are explored in Death of a Salesman a play written in the context of the disillusionment of post war America by Arthur Miller, through the character of Willy Loman who confronts disappointment as he wastes his time consuming himself in his unachievable dream of ‘the perfect world’, ultimately causing his own destruction. Loman represents an American archetype a victim of the American dream, suffering from his delusions and obsession with success, which haunt him with a sense of failure. In the modernist poem “Mirror”, written by Sylvia Plath, she represents a woman’s response to the sudden realisation of loss and ageing. In a tone similar to Death of a Salesman, of depression and fear, Plath’s subject is an archetype of inevitability of death. The Scream, a futuristic painting by Edvard Munch, embodies the individual facing choices on the path of fear, angst and alienation which has become an iconic motif for the plight of contemporary individuals. The individuals portrayed show responses and repercussions to the inevitable unexpected situations that occur in life’s journey that challenge and inspire.…

    Willy and Nora: Tragic Heroes or Home-wreckers? No one has a perfect life. Despite what Aaron Spelling and his friends in the media might project to society today, no one's life is perfect. Everyone has conflicts that they must face sooner or later. The ways in which people deal with these conflicts can be just as varied as the people themselves. Some procrastinate and ignore their problems as long as they can, while others attack problems to get them out of the way as soon as possible. The Lowman and Helmer families have a number of problems that they deal with in different ways, which proves their similarities and differences. Both Willy Loman, the protagonist of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman and Nora Helmer, protagonist of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House experience an epiphany where they realize that they were not the person the thought they were: while Willy's catharsis brings about his death, Nora's brings her to a new life; hers. Both character's flaws bring about their departure from their respective families as well. They are both overly concerned with the appearances they and their families present to society: as a result they both project false images to others. From their appearance, both seem to be involved in stable marriages and appear to be going places. Willy's job as a traveling salesman seems stable (although we never know what it is he sells) when he tells his family that he "knocked 'em cold in Providence, slaughtered 'em in Boston" (Miller 1228). It is not until Willy's wife, Linda tells us that he "drives 700 miles and when he gets there, no one knows him any more, no one welcomes him" (Miller 1241). If that's not enough to convince readers of his failure on the job, the fact that he gets fired after working for the same company for 36 years cements his incompetency in the business world to readers. While Nora does not work in the business world, (few woman, if any did over 120 years ago) her failure to take care of her responsibilities…
