Blackout poem — “Death of a Salesman”
“Death of a Salesman” written by Arthur Miller
The play “Death of a Salesman” follows a middle aged man living in the 50s in New York City. Where he faces many problems struggling to meet up to his own ambitions of becoming a successful salesman such as his father and brother, but is also going through troubles of demencia, suicide, old age, financially and his children, confused as to what to do with their lives.
“Death of a Salesman” fits the poetic category of tragedy because at many points during the play we can see Willy Loman experiencing tragic and dramatic scenes such as the mistress in Boston, Willy’s attempted suicides and the final suicide of Willy at the end of the play, and how none of the characters in the play saw it coming, and Willy wasn’t remembered the way he hoped he would.
This blackout Meaning behind the creation of this blackout poem was to show many key words that can be used in many ways to identify the meanings behind this play and the characters within. The words that are shown in this blackout poem such as “down under” can be used to describe Willy Lomans mood through out the play, because Willy was always feeling like he wasn’t as good as his brother and father, aswell as the guilt he was felling for cheating on his wife with the woman in Boston so he was felling down under for most of the play due to past events. Another word “everybody” shows that although this play was mainly about Willy the play also had many interesting side stories such as Willy’s brother (Ben), Bernard, Biff, Happy, Charley and a small story from Linda shows that this play wasn’t just about Willy but about the people he lived around and their story’s. In final the play “Death of a Salesman is an amazing peice of entertainment, written by a very talented playwrite, and overall a great play if you want to get a real fealing experience with a lot of action, suspense and tragedy.

Character Sketch “Two Fishermen”
In the story “Two Fishermen,” a lone reporter for a newspaper named Michael Foster, has great intentions of capturing a large story. Foster shows great ambition throughout the story as he says to Smitty ‘Do you know this Thomas Delaney that’s dying in the morning?”, (Caliaghan 3) This shows that Foster puts his job before people due to that Foster has just met Smitty, and he is asking questions about his report,rather than asking about himself. Foster shows throughout the story that he is quick to judge such as when he met smitty and said ” the man smiled. He had a large head, tapering down to a small chin, a birdlike neck, and a very wistful smile. Puckering his mouth up”, (Caliaghan 2) he instantly made him sound like a dirty guy making him believe Smitty was bad, also right after Smitty asked Foster if he was going fishing and if he could share a boat with him, but Foster almost instantly said no thanks. So it is clear that Foster is a judgemental person. Foster shows that after all the friendliness Smitty gave and did for Foster, and after he made the realization that smitty is not a bad guy he still made the decision to join the town, rather than help Smitty. ” he looked around wildly, looking for someone to help him as the crowd kept pelting him. Farther and farther Michael backed into the crowd and all the time he felt dreadfully ashamed as though he were betraying Smitty”, (Caliaghan 7) Foster shows in this quote that he knows he is betraying smitty and he feels bad for it but he still backs out. Foster, throughout everything is shown to be a very ambitious person but also judgemental and caring but not willing to act upon it.
