--Write a "found poem" of 6 - 12 lines, using lines from up to page 37 in the reading. (The purpose is to look back over this section of the play, to find lines that have symbolic relevance, and to explore what may be potential themes of the play.) An example is below:
Goin' Off the Road (a found poem based on lines from Death of a Salesman)
The peonies would come out, and the daffodils
And then all of a sudden I'm goin' off the road
Bricks and windows, windows and bricks
You can't raise a carrot in the back yard
Life is a casting off
The mind is what counts
I see everything
I can't seem to -- keep my mind to it
