Death of a Salesman Question

Willy: "Chevrolet, Linda, it's the greatest car ever built"(21).
Willy: " That goddamn Chevrolet, they ought to prohibit the manufacture of that car"(22).

Question: Why does Willy contradict himself so obviously about something as simple as a car?

New Year's Walk

As I threw on my winter jacket and opened the sliding glass door, camera in hand, I began to reflect on the past year and how fast it went by. As I walked along the beach, logs covered in a light blanket of snow, I thought about everything I have accomplished in the past year including learning to golf, a fantastic football season and more recently, teaching myself to ski. I also thought about the new friends I have made and the relationships that have been strengthened in the past year. I finished by thinking about all my favorite memories of the year and concluding that 2015 was a fantastic year.

            Next, I began to think about the future. 2016 is going to be a huge year in my life. I am super excited for graduation and anxious to find if I have been accepted into my top choice college. The beauty of the walk reminded me that God is the ultimate creator and that he has a plan for my life. Proverbs 16:9 comes to mind as I head into the new year; “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” This next part of my life will be full of new beginnings some doors in 2016 will close but many new doors will open. I am thankful for the opportunities 2015 provided me and all the people that added to it. That being said, I cannot wait for the next step in my life and for all the changes that are yet to come.
