Book Review: Death of a Salesman (Miller)

Have I read this before: We read this in 11th grade English, too, I think, just like The Crucible. Gotta get that sweet, sweet Arthur Miller in those juniors. I can’t remember the character I read for, though.

Review: I like Miller, fight me. He’s really good at building up a persistent, nagging heartbreak that you know will eventually destroy a character. I remember going to see my drama teacher at U of I in this play way back in 2006 and I still remember how much it hurt.

Favorite Part: Just that buildup. It’s really extreme in this play (obviously) and even if you know what’s coming, it’s still very upsetting.

Rating: 7/10

…TONIGHT!

CRAPONASTICK!

Okay. So we went to see “Death of a Salesman” tonight.

Notice the “we”.

It was nice. Very nice. He gave me chocolate and we were touching shoulders practically the whole time—any contact is good with me, dangit!

The actual play was also very good.
