Kel had a while before he was scheduled to work and knew that since Dixie was around, that if he was running late, she'd ensure he was covered. Thinking quickly about how to approach what happened today and the fact he wanted to make sure Johnny was doing as fine as possible after such a difficult morning, Kel figured it would be best to just be straight with him. "Before I drop you back at the Stanleys, would it be okay if we went to your apartment and talked? I won't have time otherwise…

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” This quote by Larry Elder is an explanation of the entire theme of Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller. It is a short way of explaining that without having a strategy and plot to achieve the ideal that is to be pursued; it will not exactly turn out the way it is expected to. Many have taken wrong turns in life and can prevent the goal from being reached and being the best person possible, this is a similar situation in which Willy Loman has to suffer…

I was surprised with the understanding of these terms my interviewee had without really hearing the terms used often in her life.
