Cora Tucker && Willy Loman

Comparing Cora Tucker to Willy Loman is not as easy as I thought it would be. However, I believe that comparing them to each other about the simple things is more of the way to go. Willy is more of the person that wants stuff to go his way but doesn`t want to work as hard, he would rather the good things just come to his while he isn`t trying. Cora actually is working for what she wants. For example, she is doing what ever she can for the black community to be basically equal as the whites and have the same chances as the whites. Cora isn`t depending on anyone, she stands up for herself in the government, while Willy depends more on connections, other people, being well-liked, his sons. Willy thinks that you don`t really have to work to be successful or do things that you are capable of doing like Cora. He believes that just by being well-liked you can be successful in business. More of since you know all of these people, you don`t have to work because you are well-liked by these people so you are depending on them to make things accessible to you. Cora would kind of do the things that she believes is right to protect herself and her race basically, while Willy was more focused on so much about well-liked without even thinking about how he can be successful by following up what he was capable of doing.

Yeah i know! We did basically write the same thing! I would definately agree abouy what your are saying in your blog. Willy depends so much on other people, and as a result he's not a hard worker. Whereas Cora doesn't really depend on anyone but herself to get a particular job done or get an internal community conflict recognized in order to change. And I think a good example of this would be the one you used in your blog when you talked about how Cora fought for the equal rights of blacks in her community. I like the was we think the same! Good blog girl!
