Essay Ideas

Willy and Norma both had dreams.  Norma had the dream of being the most famous and best actress.  To be well known and loved.  Willy had the same but in the sales business.   He had the dream of dying the death of a salesman where people all around would come to his funeral.  In the poem that Langston Hughes wrote he talks about what happens to a dream that is shortened or stopped.  In my paper I plan to talk about how Willy and Norma's dreams did not come true and their american dream was stopped short.  I will connect it to Langston Hughes poem and how in his poem he talks about the different possibilities there are when a dream is faltered.  I also will talk about what Willy and Norma should have done to fix their failure.  They should have been more realistic with their dreams and not keep feeding themselves and people around them lies.

Vivian-
I think by your outline that your essay will be very good. You have a lot of great ideas to write about and I think the reader could learn a lot from your paper. I also think that it will flow very nicely if you write the points in order like you have in your blog.
