Death Of A Salesman is a sad story about how a father fails at making sales for his business.Throughout the book he gets into arguments with his older son Biff who is just visiting his father and mother.The book has some parts in it were they would have flashbacks into the old days and how things were, or how they wanted it to be.After a while the father comes up with an idea to kill himself and his family including Biff can take his life insurance money.At this time he is not being selfish because he is willing to end his life so his family can have a better life.Thats a father who cares about how his family lives.He just could not take the pain of seeing them hurt because of not enough money and his son not becoming a famous football player yet.That is one dedicated father.
