BEN? IS THAT YOU?!

Willy is an odd character. I feel bad for him. He tried for over thirty years to build up a dream. A dream that included money and having friends in all parts of the country. Everyone could look up and laugh and love him because he is so great. But that didn't happen. In the end, he sort of went senile and suicidal because his dreams failed him. He wanted to be like his brother Ben, who came out of the jungle rich (a real jungle or a metaphorical one?). I liked Willy, he tried his hardest, but a sad fact is that sometimes dreams don't come true, no matter how hard you try.

  1. Willy is a poor, poor old man. He never realized that he had to grow up. He didnt act liek a responisble adult. He was very childish and very senile.

  2. Jennifer, I agree. I feel sorry for Willy too. Sometimes in life we can't always have what we want.
