Death of a Salesman was a fascinating and brilliant novel. The character that I identify myself with most would have to be Happy Loman. In the play, he was not always happy, but he always thought of himself as being successful and working harder than Biff. Happy, even if he thought his father was an embarrassment, he took control of his dream, and at the end of the novel built a business to continue it. Unlike Biff, Happy accomplished something. Happy was the one being ignored throughout the whole novel, because his father preferred Biff over him, so he craved some attention.
I am like Happy in many different ways. One example is that we both strive for perfection and happiness. Happy tried making everyone around him pleased and happy, just like me. He wanted it all to be perfect, and I always try my best to be perfect, but no one is perfect. Happy was always stuck behind his older brother's shadow, and felt unappreciated. I am the older sibling, but at times I do feel left out and less important and crave the attention. I, just like Happy, try my best to show the world who I really am and will be. Myself.
