This photo was taken on the set of the Lonesome Dove in 1988. What stood out to me was the significance of how real this photo is. So many slaves have tried to cross this river to escape persecution

    According to Merriam Webster, the American Dream is “a happy way of living… that can be achieved by anyone… by working hard and becoming successful.” Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman critiques this ideology through the outcome of Willy’s life and in light of Karl Marx’s ideas in Alienation.
