This booklet does not only embody the perfection of READING STRATEGIES for the English classroom, especially for the RELUCTANT READER, but also for a level that can reach the ESL student as well, since it is adapted and has an attachment with a vocabulary list explaining more challenging words the authors use. Very valuable help for any English classroom.

In the spring of 1948 Arthur Miller retreated to a log cabin in Connecticut with the first two lines of a new play already fixed in his mind. He emerged six weeks later with the final script of Death of a Salesman - a painful examination of American life and consumerism. Opening on Broadway the following year, Miller's extraordinary masterpiece changed the course of modern theatre. In creating Willy Loman, his destructively insecure anti-hero, Miller himself defined his aim as being 'to set forth what happens when a man does not have a grip on the forces of life'.
