From a student who is studying Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, and on the path to taking the International Baccalaureate exam. In the IB exam, 7 is the highest score. Yes, I always encourage all students to work towards the As and 7s but nothing is more precious than intellectual curiosity.

Swipe to see my answer to the student’s question. Truth is, we can never be sure of authorial intent. Once written, published, disseminated, the text circulates as part of the public economy of meaning-making. The author is dead, said Roland Barthes. And indeed, they might well be, or not. Again, we can’t be sure. The only thing we have is our own meaning-making, that is to say in the simplest manner possible — the only thing we know is the effect of the text on us, the reader or in this case the audience.

Have you read Death of a Salesman? What do you think of the American Dream? What has that done for America today? How does it drive Trump and the US-Iran war? 🇺🇸⬇️

University and scholarship offers are starting to come in! 🎓Congrats to all of you who got what you want, and especially to this amazing student ✨❤️

Congratulations on the 90RP! So remarkably intelligent that you managed this in 3 months! From U to A — your progress is incredible and I’m very proud of you. But what perhaps touched me the most was that after the A-Level, you read Albert Camus on your own 🥹 Dream big and chase every dream because you can achieve anything ❤️
