Hi

Here's some ideas for Halloween. I thrown a Halloween party for my kids nearly every year so far, alternate between the two of them as one is now 9 and the other 17 so their needs and what acceptable is a little different.

I'm just in the middle of building a web site on 'Party themes' and one of the sections is 'Halloween party ideas for teenagers' there's also a page for younger kids. Below is an example of a Halloween theme, Mad scientists Laboratory. Another one I really like is the zombie dinner party and Dolls house (that's ones simple but creepy) There's also some good ideas on creating a Zombie Graveyard. Here's an extract from the web site.... if you fancy visiting it the address is www.creative-kids-partys.com itâs a nonprofit site and still under construction on some pages but I hope it helps if you take a look.

Zombie Graveyard

With just a little imagination and carefully placed zombie corpses a garden can quite easily become a âZombie Graveyardâ.

Create Headstones using sheets of cardboard you can really strong sheets of card from supermarkets, theyâre always glad to get rid of some. You cut these into different grave shapes and paint grey and then write on names of the deceased. Place these at random throughout the garden or yard, up against fences or standing up free, a simple line cut a couple of inches down into the grass will allow the grave to stand up on its own. Details like blood and slime can also be added if you like.

If you live in a climate where itâs cold at Halloween, although originally from Britain, I now live in Australia so Halloween is in summer, then you can work wonders with a big pile of autumn leaves. So if you can get your hands on a great big pile of leaves then you can lay these out in front of the grave stones to resemble where the body would be.

If you can either create or acquire body parts, arms legs, hands then these can be placed in the leave so that it looks like the zombies are rising form the dead.

These kinds of really creative Halloween party ideas for teenagers will be real winners with all their friends. Iâll bet you have lots of help to once you tell them what your ideas are! Playing kids Halloween party games set in these fantastic settings will have teens really spooked.

Thriller.....

A different direction for Zombies could be to add a music theme and host a Michael Jackson Thriller party with all the guests dressed as zombies...

Good luck and Happy Halloween

Where is Death of a Salesman set? In what city does Willy Loman live?




lomereed


I'm reading Death of a Salesman and I can't figure out where the hell it's set. It says that Happy Loman lives in an appt. in New York, but that doesn't tell me where everyone else lives.
I should clarify that the reason I'm asking is because I have to be interviewed as Happy tomorrow infront of my class and need to know what kind of accent to don, if any.



Answer
They live in Brooklyn. His brother Ben says it in Act I, when he comes to visit (in Willy's memory): "So this is Brooklyn, eh?" Also: Willy refers to how it used to be open space, but now they've put up all these apartment houses; the big game that Biff is playing in is at Ebbets Field, which is where the Brooklyn Dodgers used to play; and Happy refers to this fat pig Betty over on Bushwick Avenue, which is in Brooklyn. Willy does go into Manhattan to see Howard (and to have dinner with the boys), but Linda tells him to be careful on the subway stairs, so he clearly drives to a subway stop in Brooklyn.

ADDENDUM: I would strongly contest the suggestion that the Lomans--and the details of the play--are "generic". In fact, if you read it, they are quite specific--except for, as noted, what Willy sells. One of the wonderful things about dramatic writing is that the more specific you get, the more universal it becomes. Willy doesn't just remember any car: it's the Chevy that Biff Simonized. He's paying off a Hastings refrigerator, and angry because it's not a well-advertised machine. Biff was going to go to the University of Virginia; he didn't just work anywhere, he worked in a sporting goods warehouse. And the old English-class explanation that the name Loman is meant to equal "Low-man" is denied by Miller himself in his autobiography (pp. 177-178), where he notes that the name just popped into his head, resonating from having seen a Fritz Lang film many years earlier where a trapped man is on the phone calling: "Lohmann, Lohmann, Lohmann"...

My point is that while the audience is invited to think of the Lomans, and where they live, as universals, it works precisely because Miller has (mostly) very specific things in mind. And certainly to an audience in New York City in 1949, saying a character was a salesman who lived in Brooklyn was more than just background information--it pointed a finger at half the people in the audience. Do not confuse generic and universal--there's an enormous and important difference.
