They massacred the neighborhood. [Lost] More and more I think of those days, Linda. This time of year it was lilac and wisteria. And then the peonies would come out, and the daffodils. What fragrance in this room!" (Miller 7). 

When Willy says this, I notice a mindset that wouldn't set someone up for a happy life. Rather than finding something to appreciate about his current circumstances or taking action to change them, Willy instead imagines the past and how many things were 'better' then compared to the present. As the video "The Tail End" said, our lives are progressing along further and further every day; we only have a limited time to make life into what we want it. Instead of constantly focusing on how things used to be, Willy would likely be better off pushing himself toward a more positive mindset OR deciding to leave the neighborhood that has changed so much. ]]> 2022-04-13 18:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2142802559 0061651 https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2142820111 “Linda:…and tell Howard you’ve simply got to work in New York? You’re too accommodating, dear.  
Willy: If old man Wagner was alive I’d a been in charge of New York now!” (Miller 4). 

Willy is too stuck in the past and thinking how he would be successful if things were different or like they used to be. He is also unable to speak up for himself even though Linda is asking him to. His inability to speak up is stopping him from being successful.]]> 2022-04-13 18:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2142820111 0061651 https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2142826877 “She more than loves him, she admires him, as though his mercurial nature, his temper, his massive dreams and little cruelties.” (Miller 2).

Linda’s feelings towards Willy are bad for her success and mental health because she loves him through all the bad stuff he does and puts her through.]]> 2022-04-13 18:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2142826877 0061651 https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2142833122 “Try to relax, dear. You make mountains out of molehills.” (Miller 7).

Linda is telling Willy to relax and not take things too seriously. This is a healthy mindset and is positive because she is helping Willy to calm down.

Happy: you and I, heh?
Biff: Sure, maybe we could buy a ranch. Raise cattle, use our muscles. Men built like we are should be working out in the open.” (Miller 12). 

They both are able to recognize the negative aspects in their lives and both plan to work together to make their lives better. They have a good relationship and good ideas that add to happiness.

Willy: I got a job, I told you that. What the hell are you offering me a job for?
Charley: Don't get insulted.
Willy: Don’t insult me.” (Miller 29). 

Willy’s insecurities have constantly kept him from being more successful and more happy. Charley offers him a good job and Willy’s ego stops him from accepting a good steady job offer. This behavior is very bad for achieving happiness.]]> 2022-04-20 16:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2150670242 0061651 https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2164757375 “But sometimes, Willy, it’s better for a man just to walk away.” (Miller 73). 

Connects to harmony by not forcing things and just walking away. Water does not force things and always just keeps on going and finds a way. By Willy just walking away he would be not forcing anything and just being in harmony with his situation.]]> 2022-04-29 18:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2164757375 0061651 https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2168791812 “Biff: I gotta talk to the boss, Mom. Where is he?
Linda: You’re not going anywhere near him. Get out of this house!” (Miller 99). 

I believe that the way Linda is refusing to let biff speak to Willy is the opposite of Harmony. Harmony is letting things go and working with your environment, Linda refusing to let things happen and yelling at her son to get out of the house is the opposite of harmony. ]]> 2022-05-03 18:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2168791812 0061651 https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2170402047 “I’m just what I am, that’s all.” (Miller 106).

Biff is accepting what he is. I think this is a good behavior to embrace for a happy lifestyle because he is embracing his true self and not trying to be something that he is not. ]]> 2022-05-04 18:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/0061651/9xv3qgjfyby9ci6q/wish/2170402047
