Day 74!

Today is the day we have all waited for! Death of a Salesman project presentation day! Yay!

We will finally get to see the marvelous work you all have been doing over the past several days!

Once we have finished with that, we will begin reading the play! Whoop Whoop!

Our goal is to read pages 11-37 for tomorrow; then we will talk about the following questions.



  1. What are your initial impressions of Willy and Linda? Why?
  2. What conflicts do you see developing in the Loman family? 
  3. What seems to be the problem between Biff and Willy? Are Willy’s feelings justified? If you were Biff or Willy how would you react to this conflict?
  4. Describe the mood/atmosphere of the play so far
  5. Choose three adjectives to describe each character thus far
  6. What are your initial impressions of Biff and Happy?
  7. What conflicts do they face in their lives? Why do you think these conflicts have arisen?
  8. What “flaws” do you detect in their attitudes and personalities?
  9. Do you think Biff’s plan to visit his old boss will prove to be successful for him? Why or Why not? What important background information do we learn in this scene?
  10. Why is being well-liked valued by Willy and his sons?
  11. What is Willy’s relationship like with each of his sons? How does he treat each son? What values does he impart on them?
