Mark Twain’s life is full of quotes and passages we can all relate to. But there was one that stood out to me when I did my research reading “Plan for the future because that 's where you are going to spend the rest of your life”. (On planning for the future by Mark Twain. (n.d.)) This simple idea from Twain made perfect sense after I really read into Letters from The Earth from our text book. (Twain, M., & Doyno, V.

Like Oedipus, Joe Keller’s tragic spiral leads to a climax in which he finally accepts the answer of his fate and admits that his actions affected not only his family, but “all my sons,” (Miller 68) and he pays the ultimate price.

All My Sons is an American play written by Arthur Miller. It’s about an American family where the family was divided and conflicted just after the second world war as their sons were sent to war to fight and sacrificed greatly for the safety of their own nation while their father had sacrificed other pilots’ safety, directed the guilt towards his own partner and made money. This was a metaphor of the divide between the new American society that were in fury of the wealthy people that made money…
