Charley
In the play The Death of a Salesman, the audience is introduced to a wide and diverse verity of characters. If I were to chose the one that resembles me the most I would have to pick Charley. Charley owns a successful business alongside a helping personality. Charley offers money to Willy to pay his bills. In one section Willy even mentions that Charley is his only friend. I feel that Charley resembles me the most for a few reasons. First off, Charley seems to have ambition, which led to him being successful. One day I will be successful much like Charley. Second, Charley has reached success and has not forgotten about his friends. Similarly, when I reach a goal wether that be in school, work, or in the future, I will make sure to take care of the people around me in some way or another.

Death of a Salesman SOAPST
Death of a Salesman is a play that was written by Arthur Miller. Miller focuses on the American dream that many wish to reach during their lifetime. Arthur Miller is also the speaker of the play. The play takes place in New York around the 1940's. During this time many immigrants came to America in search of a new begining. The Loman's were no different, they were in search of the dream, the American dream. They lived in a house that was mainly surrounded by apartment buildings. The play can be considered to have two audiences. First, the people who actually went to view the play being performed and second, the ones who read the book. This play has multiple purposes, which are to inform and entertain. The book is a great way to learn about the hardships many families had to overcome during those times. Although my peers and I do not like reading plays, or any books for that matter, this one was very enjoyable.
