Death of a Salesman Act I Questions

"Terrific, Terrific job boys, good work!" (17). How do the real world characters contrast from the dream world characters in the first dream sequence?

New Year's Walk

As I took my walk today, I wanted to reflect on 2015. I went to some of the places that influenced me more last year. Mainly my neighborhood and the Golf Course nearby. As I was surrounded by the beauty of nature in my neighborhood, I realized that the biggest regret that I have from 2015 was that I haven't been thankful enough for what I have. I realize that there are many things that I am blessed with that others are not, such as my friends, my family, and a roof over my head. Over the next year, that is definitely something I want to fix next year.

As cheesy as it may sound, I try my hardest to make a New Year's Resolution every year for myself. I look at these Resolutions as a road map to become a better person than I was the year before. For 2016 my New Year's Resolution is to cement the bonds that I have made at Seattle Christian so that they will last even after we graduate. You only get one shot at making these friends, so its important to be a good friend to others so that you can maintain these relationships going into the rest of your life.

Lastly, I realize that I need to face my problems head on. This last year has been all about excuses about why I don't need to do this or that I shouldn't do that. This next year, as I go off to college, it will be filled with unknowns. I need to tackle all the challenges that I face with an open mind, so that I can defeat any problem that I come across. If I let these challenges cripple me, I'm not going to get anywhere in my life. I hope to make 2016 an even better year than 2015 was!!!!

Antigone Trial Feedback

Overall I thought the Antigone Trial was a great success. Judging by the audience's reactions to the trial, I would say they were thoroughly entertained by the court case. There are two main things that I would change for next time. Firstly, I would allow both sides to have more objections. This would give the side that prepared better an upper hand because they would be able to strike down fallacies in their opponents' arguments, as well as adding more high points to the trial. Also, I would allow both the prosecution and the defense to add as many new questions as they wanted to the trial, because this would force the witnesses to think on their feet. As a witness, I didn't feel like I was all that challenged with the questions during the actual trial, because I knew what was coming to me based off of the rehearsal.

"But glory and praise go with you, lady, to your resting-place" (149).
As we see the story progress, we see the chorus change from honoring Creon to honoring Antigone. Do you think that us as readers are supposed to feel what the Chorus is feeling?

"If Creon hears this from another man, your head's as good as off" (132)

Do the citizens of Thebes really respect Creon? Are they more fearful of him?

I finished typing up the script. Feel free to make any changes as you see fit.
