Glengarry Glen Ross

This story was remarkably interesting, there was a good amount of profanity and many confusing sentences that got cut off half way because no one in the story wanted to shut up. My favorite part was scene three in Act one, where Rick Roma who is remarkably two faced, was selling land to someone at a bar. The way he sold it was incredible, he talked to the person he was trying to sell the land too (James Lingk) as though they were friends even though later in the story he completely tries to screw over James Lingk, my favorite line in the whole story is an empty sales pitch by Rick Roma ""If it happens AS IT MAY for that is not within our powers, I will deal with it, just as I do today with what draws my concern today." I find this idea incredibly powerful, throughout the entire story no one is really is in control of what happens to them, Williamson didn't rob the place but still had to deal with it, Aaronow didn't ask to be an accomplice to a crime but he became one, and Levene got screwed when he sold to a couple who were just stringing him along this story is about taking life as it comes and dealing with it.
