Juniors Homework



Hey Juniors.  Welcome to our digital home away from home, the Stuyblog.  I'll be posting assignments, extra credits, minutes schedules, and relevant media on this particular site so check it regularly.  Bookmark this page!  I'll post the work for the week of Feb. 6th by noon on Sunday.

Here's your homework for the weekend.

-Please explain Willy's occupation.  (Don't just say "he's a salesman.")
-What difficulties does Willy often experience in his commute?
-Willy contradicts himself when discussing his son Biff.  Please find the two separate examples that reveal this contradiction (identify by page number).  What does this reveal about Willy as a father?
-How would you characterize Linda?

Aside from the third question (about contradictions) you really don't need to write more than a sentence for each question.  Be ready to discuss this text in class on Monday.  I will be asking individuals to read aloud as particular actors.

And by the way, I'm really excited to be working with all of you.  You are truly an insightful and fun group of juniors who, only after a few days, are making me VERY optimistic about this class.
