Act One Cut.....

We are going to skip a small section of Act I for lack of time and also because it is very difficult to visualize with our resources. Therefore, I will give you a short summary of the section and we will watch it on the movie.
-------------------------------
**Willy has a hallucination, not a flashback, of his brother Ben, whom he speaks to as he plays cards with Charley. Keep in mind Ben is dead. His brother moved to Alaska to follow their father, a flute-maker, and ends up in Africa becoming rich in the diamond mines. Willy gets imaginary advice from him--asks him if he is teaching his boys correctly and how he became such a success--what's the secret?. He feels if he would have followed his brother he would have been more successful, and that his boys should follow his example.
quote to know—“The jungle is dark, but full of diamonds”—Ben
