The outlooks on life for Willy Loman and Cora Tucker couldn’t be any different. Willy believes that all you need to succeed is to be liked, while Cora thinks that you must go out and fight for what you want.
Willy’s view ends up getting driving him to death because as soon as he feels that he is no longer well liked, he gives up on life. Cora, on the other hand, doesn’t care if people like her. She wants the equal rights that she thinks people deserve, and she couldn’t care less if she steps on some toes while getting it.
Willy has all the trappings that should make people enjoy life, but all he can see if failure. Cora lives near train tracks and really doesn’t have much, but end the end she’s more than just happy.
Willy thinks the world should come to him while Cora seizes life by the scruff of the neck. While she might have physically less, emotionally she has so much more.

I liked the comparisons that you made between Cora and Willy, like WIlly's preference for being well liked versus Cora's working your hardest to get it no matter what people think of you mindset. I agree with all of hte comparisons that you made. If I had to say somehting to you abou twhat your entry needs, It need specific examples from the text. Such as how Willy has great pride in shis sons for being well liked, and how he knows that they are going to be successful men bacuse of it (even if thats not how it turned out).
One grammaticaal error: "The outlooks on life for Willy Loman and Cora Tucker couldn’t be any different." Did you mean any more different?
