i'm reading "death of a salesman" right now, and it's very....dry. everybody raves about how great it is though, so i'm giving it a go.

i've read "the crucible" and that was really good.

does death of a salesman get better? and is there any other plays i should read by him?

I HATED the cruicible and had the misfortune of studying it twice at school. Its so preachy and its very, very dry. Its put me off ever reading/seeing anything by him again.

I loooved Death of a Salesman. But the fact that you don't could mean that you don't feel you've already failed at the life you were expected to lead, which probably wasn't a terribly healthy way for a 15 year-old to feel.

I don't know how to answer if it gets better...where are you now? What do you think is lacking?

I didn't love DOAS but I appreciated its quality.

For my 10th grade English final, I picked Biff flunking his math regents as the turning point in a character's life to write about for the essay. Then I had lunch and flunked my own math regents.
