Things Fall Apart

Things Fall apart is the story of a Nigerian tribe and a group of English men who are trying to learn to co exist. In the beginning this is very hard but they learn to do so by the end of the book. The book is pretty good  but it is hard to distinguish characters from cities since readers are not used to these names. The story however is well written and causes a deeper thought of how we understand another's culture and customs.

Death of a Salesman

Death of a Salesman is the story of Willy Lowman and how he pushes his son Biff into beveling that everything will go his way because he is well liked and good looking. The story starts with Biff coming home from his farming jobs in the west and his father convincing him that he can be in the salesmanship world like he was. This is untrue, we find out later in the book that neither of them were meant to be a salesman. The father is all hung up on his delusion that his son will be a successful businessman that he ignores his hopes and skills. The book is well written and is full of emotion. Arthur Miller accurately captures the struggles and emotions of the family. His writing captures the reader and even though you get mad at the character you want to just keep on reading.
