Compare Willy and Norma
After watching the movie Sunset Blvd, we were asked to compare the main character of the movie, Norma to the main character in the book, Death of a Salesman, Willy. Willy and Norma are alike in many different ways. Norma was successful in the first part of her life. She lived in a huge mansion with only her ex husband Max. Willy doesn't have money and is not rich, unlike Norma. She believes she is still famous when really she is not. This relates to Willy because he always wanted to be successful and never was. Both Willy and Norma can't escape their dreams. There dreams are the only thing they focus on. Also Willy committed suicide when Norma attempted to by slitting her writs.

Katie,
I think this is a good blog. I like how you compared Willy and Norma in the beginning of their stories. I think you could've added stuff about their current situations. How they both think they're still great but they really aren't. They both try to convince people that they are great and the both have people reassuring them.
good job.
