PAPeeR

I think that this paper is interesting because we can compare a book to a movie, and still find many similarities. It's very interesting to see that the idea of a dream and the American dream was a large topic in the early to mid 20th century. I didn't realize that it was such a big deal. I like comparing the two characters of Willy and Norma. All they initially seem different, you eventually can draw up many similarities between them...like how they both remember the good things from their past and how they want to be like their past.
I also like how we are using a Langston Hughes poem. It's cool to see how even thirty years before they were talking about dreams. It's interesting because that's what all people have in common. No matter race, social class, and economic class, everyone has a dream. So literature from the Harlem Renaissance can be compared to literature from the "Lost" group and from a movie made in 1950. It's all connected, and it shows how everybody is connected.
