An Interview with August Wilson

In the interview between David Savran and August Wilson alot of truth and intelligence is addressed.Wilson makes numerous valid points about life,African-Americans,and society.Reading the interview sparked my interest in Wilson books due to her relative responses.I agree with the fact that we are pieces of a parents and the tools they give us prepare us for the world. I also agree how sometimes the tools given have to function different since things change with the generation. I enjoyed how issues occuring in the African American community was addressed as well as a way to solve them. The interview allowed reality to be told as it is without sugar coating anything.

tragedy and the common man

Authur Miller's Tragedy and the Common Man is a piece that opened my mind to the numerous ideas he presented,most of which I agreed with. I enjoyed how he presented that even though tragedies may seem archaic the problem the characters face aren't archaic but yet similar. Miller suggest that both royals and common folk share the same goal of trying to regain their postion in society or trying to change their position.Since royals and common folk share the same thinking process that allows them to face the same problems and react to them in the same fashion.I was intrigued that Miller believed that the common man's more prone to tragedy since they have a higher fear of their reputation being damaged or flawed.I agree that diginty and what people will do to keep it allows the common man just as much tragedy as a royal.As long as people have perseverance no matter the odds they are available to tragedy regardless their rank.
