Ricky Lowe Final

This conversation is between George (Of Mice and Men) and Willy (The Death of a Salesman)

George: Hey there. My name is George. How are you today?

Willy: Hi. My name is Willy. I'm alright, I am down today, there is just no happiness right now. My family and I are just struggling to survive and I feel like I let my sons' down.

George: Why is that?

Willy: Well... I had an affair and my son Biff caught me in the act. After that he has just hated me... His whole life was going so great he was getting recruited to play college football at Virginia and he threw it all away because of me.

George: I'm sorry man... I know how family struggles can be it is tough but, you can get through it though.

Willy: I almost committed suicide because of my wrong doings... It was a mistake and I wish I could take everything back and be the father that I should've been. If I didn't make that mistake my kid would be a superstar and he would be living large instead, of still trying to find a job.

George: I go through the same struggles... Except for they aren't really my fault. I have to watch a mentally handicapped man named Lennie. We are always on the run because he sometimes does some stupid things like breaking animals necks and he also killed a woman by snapping her neck.

Willy: Wow that is just messed up. How do you do it?

George: Well, I just learn to live with it. I made a promise to Lennie's aunt and I will keep that promise and watch him like he is my brother. It's not my fault that he does all these things... so I just try and tell him what to do and show him right from wrong.

Willy: That sounds like a lot of work. You and I have a lot in common. I love to work hard and feel great about doing good work to support my family.

George: I agree with you. I work hard so I can get a house and some food for me and Lennie so we can live a good life... Right now though it is just hard staying in one town with Lennie and his mentally challenged ways... I have a question for you, how come you always have those weird dreams?

Willy: Well... it helps me escape from my past and it is like my dream life in my dream. I can escape my wrong doing and just dream.

George: I sometimes dream myself too... I dream about me and Lennie just livin' on our own ranch just sitting down and looking out at the sunset. My dream gives me drive to keep working hard and get to paradise.

Willy: You know George, me and you need to hangout more often and discuss our problems. I feel like I can open up to you and just you give me great advice on things and it really is helping to discuss this with someone.

George: Anytime Willy. We can hangout anytime and sit down and sip on a couple beers and discuss life.

Willy: I have one more question for you George?

George: Whats that Willy?

Willy: Well, what kind of advice would you give me to help me with reconnecting with my sons?

George: Well Willy, I would just come up front with them and tell them you made a mistake... then tell them you will do anything for them and that you will always be there for them and you love them. Say the things that you believe matters most to you.

Willy: Alright, I will have to come clean... I just want them to be successful and happy. I love them so much.

George: Exactly.

Willy: Well George, I better get going its getting dark and Linda is probably getting worried. I will see you later.

George: Alright Willy, you take easy... everything will be alright just take it easy. Bye
