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. ]]> 2022-04-12 18:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2141253847 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2141310009 “She more than loves him, she admires him, as though his mercurial nature, his temper, his massive dreams and little cruelties, served her only as sharp reminders of the turbulent longings within him, longings which she shares but lacks the temperament not utter and follow to their end” (2)

This quote shows that Linda is passive and not as ambitious in chasing dreams like willy is. She loves and admires him and they share the same longings.]]> 2022-04-12 18:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2141310009 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2142813349 “Just try to relax dear. You make mountains out of molehills” (7)

Don’t take the little things so seriously because that will only stress you out]]> 2022-04-13 18:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2142813349 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2142823182 I don’t want change I want Swiss cheese damnit” (8)
Willy isn’t willing to change and has a rigid mindset]]> 2022-04-13 18:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2142823182 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2144226482 “Sure, maybe we could buy a ranch. Raise cattle, use our muscles. Men built like we are should be working out in the open” (12)
This quote shows the happiness comes from the brother,y connection the two have and how they could stick together and make it work because of the bond they have. They also switch to being enthused while talking about the ranch.]]> 2022-04-14 18:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2144226482 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2167166060 “[desperately, standing over willy] pop, listen! Listen to me! I’m telling you something good. Oliver talked to his partner about the Florida idea. You listening? He—he talked to his partner, and he came to me… I’m going to be all right you hear? Dad, listen to me, he said it was just a question of the amount!”(87)
This reflects Biffs openness to his father, openly sharing his thoughts and life experiences with him. ]]> 2022-05-02 17:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2167166060 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2170378252 “Biff: [against happy] so what? I like to whistle sometimes.
Happy: you don’t raise a guy to a responsible job who whistles in an elevator” (44)
This quote shows Happy’s readiness to spew even the same thoughts as Willy to try and maintain the same and avoid change and conflict]]> 2022-05-04 18:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2170378252 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2170392904 “Willy: oh, biff [staring wildly] he cried! Cried to me… that boy—that boy is going to be magnificent!
Ben: yes, outstanding, with twenty thousand behind him.” (106)
This quote shows that Ben is really not a voice of reason, but a voice of polarization to make Willy think stronger about his thoughts, and in this case to make him commit suicide]]> 2022-05-04 18:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2170392904 019256 https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2170407701 “Linda:all he needed was a little salary…
Charley: no man only needs a little salary” 110
This quote shows Charley’s understanding that life and happiness is more than just making enough money]]> 2022-05-04 18:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/019256/gjwqifgdvx0umf94/wish/2170407701
