talking back to his mother. He seemes to calm down quite a bit though in just a
few days. As a matter of fact, as soon they arrive at the new school, Adam
seemes to be more mature and calm. Maybe that's because he doesn't have any
friends in the new school, maybe because he feels inferior being the new kid and
outsider that he is.

Death Of A Salesman - Characte
560 Words - 3 Pages.... However, these
shortcomings did not account for his tragic end, not by
themselves anyway. Soviety is to blame. It was society who
stripped him of his dignity, piece by piece. It was society who
stripped him of his lifestyle, and his own sons who stripped him
of hope.
The most obvious flaw in society is greed, the desire to get
ahead of the next guy. This malady is present on a national
level. It is the philosophy of business and comprises the dreams
of man. Sometimes, this can drive man to great things, sometimes

(Not his own greed for he was a simple man with simple dreams,

corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but Huc ....
