What is the reason for Biff's sudden change of outlook on Willy?

English

Sauron [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Willy is lost in his memories. Suddenly, the memories of his sons’ childhood come alive. Young Biff and Happy wash and wax their father’s car after he has just returned from a sales trip. Biff informs Willy that he “borrowed” a football from the locker room to practice. Willy laughs knowingly. Happy tries to get his father’s attention, but Willy’s preference for Biff is obvious. Willy whispers that he will soon open a bigger business than his successful neighbor Uncle Charley because Charley is not as “well liked” as he is. Charley’s son, Bernard, arrives to beg Biff to study math with him. Biff is close to failing math, which would prevent him from graduating. Willy orders Biff to study. Biff distracts him by showing him that he printed the insignia of the University of Virginia on his sneakers, impressing Willy. Bernard states that the sneakers do not mean Biff will graduate. After Bernard leaves, Willy asks if Bernard is liked. The boys reply that he is liked but not “well liked.” Willy tells them that Bernard may make good grades, but Happy and Biff will be more successful in business because they are “well liked.”

Still in his daydream of fifteen years ago, Willy brags to Linda that he made $1200 in sales that week. Linda quickly figures his commission at over $200. Willy then hedges his estimation. Under questioning, he admits that he grossed only $200. The $70 commission is barely adequate to cover the family’s expenses. In a rare moment of lucidity and self-criticism, Willy moans that he cannot move ahead because people do not seem to like him. Linda tells him that he is successful enough. Willy complains that he talks and jokes too much. He explains that Charley earns respect because he is a man of few words. His jealousy of his neighbor becomes painfully clear. Willy thinks people laugh at him for being too fat; he once punched a man for joking about his “walrus” physique. As Linda assures him that he is the handsomest man ever, Willy replies that she is his best friend in the world. Just as he tells her that he misses her terribly when he is on the road, The Woman’s laughter sounds from the darkness.

Read the passage. Then answer the question. " Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death! By Patrick Henry. What argument and claims does
irinina [24]

Henry argues that all colonists must act against the British Empire and attack it to ensure America's freedom and prosperity.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Henry's speech was made to persuade the colonists to fight the British Empire.
  • He claims that the British Empire has acted with violence and tyranny, harming and oppressing the settlers.
  • To support these claims, Henry uses concrete and well-established evidence that reinforces his argument and makes the speech efficient.
  • Henry does not use false statements, but is based on facts that can be confirmed by everyone.

Henry's speech can be an example of speech that can truly persuade without using fallacies or misleading sentences.
