Would the book Pursuit of Happyness and the play Death of a Salesman be good for a project?

Well I have to do an ISU (it's like an in depth report/essay type thing) in which we compare a novel and a play. Usually, the novel is fiction, however, I have chosen a non fiction novel.
The novel I have chosen is the Pursuit of Happyness, Chris Gardner's autobiography, and hte play I chose is Death of a Salesman.
I know they both deal with the search for the "American Dream", but are there any other themes I may be able to find in them?

Alyssa, this is going to be a great project. Congratulations on having a creative and perceptive mind. Yes, by all means compare 'Death of a Salesman' and 'The Pursuit of Happyness'. The search for the American Dream can be your jumping off point: what does Willy Lohman think the American Dream is? What does it mean to him and what is he willing (or not willing) to do to get it? Ask the same questions about Chris Gardner and compare the answers. Use lines from the play or book to back up your statements. Another theme, weaving in and out of both stories is the meaning of family and the relationship between fathers and sons. Willy isn't all that great a father to his son...is this relationship something he sacrifices to the American Dream? Good luck! I hope you get an A.
