AP Lit: Death of a Salesman Update

We will no longer be reading Death of a Salesman. I've thought about it, and there just isn't enough time to jam in another work before the exam. We wouldn't be able to give it due diligence.

Instead, we are going give more attention to exam preparation. To any of you who started the play, I apologize.

Introduction to Death of a Salesman

This week we will be beginning Death of a Salesman. It appears in your textbook.

Reading Schedule:
Act I (pgs. 1898 -1930) - By March 4th
Act II & Requiem (pgs. 1930-1969) - By March 18th

This play will give allow us to revisit tragedy. However, instead of viewing the fall of a great character, we will witness the arc in a character who represents the common man.
