Death of a Salesman Question

"My own apartment, a car, and plenty of women. And still, goddammit, I'm lonely" (12).

How does the pursuit of the "American Dream" affect each character so far in the play? What point is Miller ultimately trying to make?

New Year Photo Walk

I decided to do my photo walk at night which was very cold, but I didn't mind. My dog, Riley, and I were all cuddled up, but she was excited to go for a walk.  The first thing that I noticed was my neighbor's Christmas lights that are still up. Usually they put up a 12 their front yard, but they didn't do as much this year. It was still pretty and added a little Seahawks flare to the neighborhood which I appreciate. They are the last remnant of Christmas as well. That leads me to the next thing that I saw which was a chopped up Christmas tree. It was really depressing and signified the death of Christmas 2015. With Christmas being my favorite holiday I never want it to end. This was a sad representation of the end of another Christmas season. The last thing that I reflected on was my neighborhood. I have lived there my whole life and it hit me on the walk that I won't be living there for a majority of the next year. It is a year of new beginnings which is scary but exciting. I can't wait to see what new things 2016 brings with it!
