CORA GURL!

In my opinion, I thought Cora Tucker and Willy Loman were different from one another. Cora isn't rich at all and probably would like more materialistsic things, the things she can't have. Yet she doesn't complain about what she does have. She seems content with the way her life is. Willy on the other hand isn't satisfied with what he has, he wants things that he can't have. But instead of coping with it and living his life without basing it on that, he does just the opposite. Unlike Willy, Cora doesn't care what people think about her. She is very bold within her community and fightd for what she belives in no matter who it offends or makes upset. She's not scared to take a stand. As a result, many people respect her because even those who don't agree with her say that Cora is a very imformed person and knows whats going on in political issues that affect her community. Cora likes to take the initiative and doesn't realy on other people, while that's all Willy did. He relied on people to like him and so he didn't become successful.

Brittney,
When I was reading your blog it made me realize that we really wrote the same exact things with just different word choice. The main thing about Willy that stood out differently from Cora is that he did depend on other people to like him to be succesful. With Cora, she really didn`t give a damn how people thought about her. I like Cora. I like how she goes on about her business and doesn`t let anybody get in her way, not what they say, or what they do, such as calling her house and threatening her. I like how you mentioned that she didn`t care about who she offended or who she made upset, I agree with you. Nice blog girl, I totally agree with you . =]]
