Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated The Long Walk: A Story of War and the Life That Follows in Books

Nov 6, 2019

This had me gripped from the very first sentence to the very last. I am currently researching P.T.S.D. in order to write a theatre production. Brian had, and still has, a lot of emotions that didn't always make sense and that is a natural reaction given the sights he had witnessed.
When he stands in a queue and contemplates killing those around him due to their lousy life worries was very tense in reading but very understandable. He has been reassured that he isn't crazy and that he doesn't have P>T>S>D and I hope that gave him peace mentally and physically. Excellent book!

Becs (244 KP) rated Death of a Salesman: Certain Private Conversations in Two Acts and A Requiem in Books

Jan 2, 2020

Death of a Salesman is a riveting story that will grab your emotions and pull at your heartstrings. The plot is a rollercoaster of events. At first, I was confused with the Ben character but towards the end of the play, I was finally able to understand each issue that took place with each character. Understanding the pain that Willy was going through. Understanding the issues Biff has with stealing from jobs. Understanding Happy's need to sleep around. Bringing to light the issue of a salesman's career and how the job market was going downhill. Death of a Salesman is worth a read or a couple of rereads!

This book addresses some heavy topics. Which is shared in the content warning at the beginning of the book. I feel like this book did a fantastic job of being in the emotions and questions that would come along with the subject matter discussed. I only wish there was what I feel a better more complete ending but I also feel like that was the way it was meant to be to prove no decision has to be permanent you can keep a secret or decision to be quiet but thats not how it has to stay when or how to speak up is up to you.
