All My Sons

I thought that All My Sons was an interesting book and drew alot of compassion out from the reader. The fact that Joe Keller kills himself was tragic and unexpected. The increasing sadness I felt as the book went on was a great aspect that the book provided for the reader. The book showed us a darker side of the pursuit of the American Dream and really opened our eyes to the faults of the justice system. It showed us that people will do anything to get out of trouble, including lying and blaming their friends. I felt that the author tried to portray that and taught us about the fact that primitive human nature is not always good. It is all about surivial and our nature is to, whether it is ethical or not, to stay alive.
