... no!" Yet Happy stuck with his job, longing to one day please his father. Even after Willy's death Happy did not give up on his quest. "I'm gonna show everybody else that Willy Loman did not die in vain." "I'm staying right in this city, and I'm gonna beat this racket!" (138). Happy, still trying to please his father from beyond the grave, dooms himself to live the same life, and perhaps death, of his father. Happy never knew his father, and if he had, he may not have respected him so much. If Willy had talked with his son Happy, opened up to him, Happy would have probably chosen a different path of life. Instead, Willy focused his all his attention on B ...

The third main character is Johnnie – son of Scully, who is young and enjoys playing cards. "A tall bronzed cowboy" who is very sympathetic towards Johnnie during the fistfight, is yet another main character. Perhaps the least dominant main character is the Easterner; he is a quiet and soft-spoken person. The main conflict in the story is the fistfight over a card in which the Swede accuses Johnnie of cheating. ...

... the same fashion making the reference to the hills having skin—an enlarged mound forming off of what was once flat. The man views pregnancy just the opposite. When the girl is talking about the white elephants and agrees that the man has never seen one, his response is, "I might have, just because you say I haven’t doesn’t prove anything" (464). This shows the defensive nature of the man, and when the woman implies the he is unable to differentiate between what is beautiful and what is not. Another issue that is discussed in this story is abortion and two opposing views. When the conversation turns from the hills to the operation one is able to compr ...
... ever gaining prominence to the pinnacle of power in ancient Egypt. This ascension as a whole gives us a glimpse of God’s order in the world, but the details of the story each provide evidence that God is the sole proprietor of order and justice. Joseph, the youngest of twelve sons, is provided with a prophecy of his future greatness which he tells his brothers: “behold we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose...your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf...and behold the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.” This is the first indication that God is at work defining and orchestrati ...

... the main struggle for power deals with the government. This overly oppressive, almost Orwellian style bureaucracy, tries to make sure there is no interaction with books at all. They believe that books permeate their society and corrupt the minds of the people. Unannounced searches of property by "firemen" are not at all uncommon. At the slightest inkling of this futuristic contraband, these firemen will rummage through all of one's property, at times, destroying everything in their path. On the opposite side of that spectrum, there is a struggle for power by the people as well. There is the woman who hid several thousand volumes of books in her house. She loves ...
