This conversation is taking place between George from “Of Men and Mice” and Willy from “Death of a Salesman”

George: Hey Willy, hows it going?

Willy: It's going pretty good George, how about yourself?

George: Well, it's not going as great as I had hoped.

Willy: Why do you say that George?

George: Well, I have been taking care of Lenny for a long time and it is really just getting hard for me to handle. I feel as if he is just holding me back, but I can't just let him fend for himself.

Willy: Oh I see your predicament.

George: I just don't know what to do anymore.

Willy: Well maybe you need to find someone else who is more capable of taking care of him because it is just too much for you to handle.

George: Yea maybe that would be a good idea. I am gonna try to do that. Thanks a lot

Willy. So how are your boys doing Willy?

Willy: Well, they are not doing too good.

George: Why do you say that?

Willy: Well Biff had planned on going to Virginia University, but he was having some trouble in his high school math and didn't receive enough credits to graduate so he could not get into Virginia. Happy is doing alright and he is trying to become a businessman himself.

George: Oh, I'm sorry they are not doing too well.

Willy: Yea, I had such high hopes for them but I kind of let them down.

George: How did you let them down Willy?

Willy: Well I sort of set them up to fail, I made them feel almost as if they were invincible. Then they got to meet reality and it was very difficult for them to succeed.

George: Oh I see.

Willy: Yea I am just so upset at myself for setting them up to fail. I just let them down, and I let myself down. I just wish that everything would have turned out a lot better than it did.

George: Yea, it is not easy trying to raise children. It will all turn out OK in the end, you just gotta keep your head up Willy.

Willy: Yea.

George: One of these days I'm gonna get enough money to go start my own farm. I just gotta working hard and everything will turn out to be OK.

Willy: Well alright George, I've gotta get going now, It was great talking to you. I appreciate your help

George: No problem Willy, I'm glad that I could help you out.

Willy: Alright talk to you later.

George: Yup, bye.
