Death of a Salesman. Hrm. I liked the points, but frankly was glad to have finished it. It created a complicated emotion, part pity, part extreme distaste. Willy is pitiful, but still majorly messed up his sons. It's hard to reconcile these emotions. I think I feel worst for Happy. He was always overshadowed by Biff, yet most believes in his father's legacy.
Our essays were a tad... rough. The highest score we had in our group was a 5. It's so hard to remember to hit all the points of the essay while being insightful AND original. Stupid 9. Oh well, onward we shall go!
There's so much to DOAS I think it'd be impossible not to have mixed emotions. Apparently Happy is essentially equal to Willy.
ReplyDeleteYep. 5ish more months of practice and I'm sure we'll all get better at the free responses.
My biggest problem with the essays is the time constraints. I'm a great writer, but I feel like I can't express myself the way I like to because I don't have time. That, and I'm so rushed it feels as though I have to seize onto thoughts before they slip away, so the essays are a tad disorganized.

I like your honesty about it all. I unfortunately cannot share in your relief in finishing DOAS because I thoroughly enjoyed it but I can certainly see where you are coming from. I'm not sure what I can say about the 5's that would make me seem like we aren't all in the same predicament.
