Death of a Salesman

What is your initial impression of the main character Willy  Loman?

There is a page and a half of stage directions before the dialogue starts.  What information do you learn about the immediate setting and character descriptions?

Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence is an example of an early document of persuasion.  What do you think of the document in terms of persuasion, style, rhetoric etc...?  Are the concepts of this document still relevant to today?  Has anything changed since July 4, 1776?
What does it make you think about the essential question for the marking period?   WOW me!
