Willy Loman as a Tragic Hero in Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the concept of Willy Loman as a tragic hero. Arthur Miller’s character Willy Loman in his play “The Death of a Salesman” comes across as a tragic hero. As the tragic hero, Loman is both the bane yet the central axis of his family with whom he is unable to connect and form significant relationships. Loman’s own delusions lead to much of the tragic perception of him as it appears only Willy is unable to see how unrealistic his perceptions of his life and success really are. While Loman eventually commits suicide in a last attempt to provide money which will lead to his son Biff’s success, Loman again becomes the tragic hero as his death does not live up to his original delusions but instead favors his family with “freedom”; something they had all wished for while Loman was alive. Tutorial language is inserted throughout in square brackets to assist in writing. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Windtalkers/The Navajo Code-Talkers of WWII
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page research paper on the film Windtalkers (2002) directed by John Woo. The writer argues that Woo misses the goal of honoring the Navajo code-talkers of WWII who provided an unbreakable code based on the Navajo language that the best Japanese code-breakers could not decipher. The writer discusses Marine involvement in the production of the film and the principal premise, which is that the Marine bodyguards charged with the safety of the Navajos were under orders to kill the code-talkers if it appeared they would be captured, is historically wrong. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
