Deffered essay

My first thoughts on this essay are that Willy and Norma are going to share alot of the same lines on the poem. Willy's dream of being a sales man dries up and basically goes away when he gets fired and even before that and Norma's dream of being an actress goes away too when speaking films come out. When we say dry up this means they were once successful, but then they dried up and lost all of their substance. Also, both of their dreams sag like a heavy load, but Willy's does especially. Norma has picture of her self all around her house and watches her old movies all of the time. She also has money to represent the success she had. Willy on the other hand does not have any of this. He is constantly trying to make ends meet money wise, and his dream of being a salesman is just holding him back. He wasn't reading to go on to a new dream, so his old dream just sulked around him while he hadno success. Also, i think both of their dreams "exploded" or at least tried to explode. All of the pressure around Willy's dream to have a successful business and family caused him to kill him self, and the lonliness Norma has gotten from the failure of her dream has caused her to try and kill herself also.
