Death of a Salesman 3

In this section of the novel, Happy and Biff decide to embark on a business adventure. Happy thinks that he and Biff should ask Bill Oliver for a business loan. By doing this, Happy and Biff would not only have decent jobs, but they would make their father happy as well. Happy creates a business proposal for a campaign to sell sporting goods. Willy, their father, thinks that the boys are going to be great candidates for the new business proposal. He believes that because they are attractive and well-liked, they are going to be successful. I do not think that this new business is going to work out very well. We learned earlier in the novel how Biff only wanted to work on a farm. He was never satisfied with working in an actual office environment; therefore, I do not think that he will be able to hold up his end of the bargain. Happy may be able to follow through with this business proposal, but he would also have to forget his other job. Also, Happy is very materialistic, and if the business is not successful, he may want to follow through with it.
