SMASHED

This book is about a drunken girlhood and how she turned into an alcoholic. "Still the loss is worth it because I have won Natalie's respect." Her true friend wouldn't make her do something she didn't want to do. Even though she thinks that it's a good idea to drink because Natalie is it's mostly the worst plan possible for Koren. Why would drinking get you respect? It just makes you more idiotic than you already are. I think peer pressure is the worst part of having friends sometimes. Your true friends wouldn't want you to do something you didn't want to do.

Q-Q-C

Willy: "I just want you to know, on the train, in the mountains, in the valleys, wherever you go, that you cut down your life for spite!" Spite is thw word of your undoing. While reading many arguments between Willy and his two sons Happy and Biff this one seems to count for his life. The anger that comes out of Willy's voice, the frustration that Biff has to his dad and Happy, the sadness and anger thrown to him. Why would a dad not care of his sons actions? Linda just there standing watching everyone she loves argue right in front of her. Sobbing. Crying. Sobbing. Something each and every person his hiding from one another. Why would a dad not care of his sons actions?

I have the play Death of A Salesman by Arthur Miller. We had to read act one. "Lick the world! You guys together could absolutely lick the civilized world." I chose this quote because Willy was a person who wanted his sons to have a better and successful life than him. He always butted in his son Biff's life. What I wonder is why Willy has always favored Biff and not his other son happy. Both brothers love their dad and Happy always tries to get his dads attention.
