The old proverb, "a picture is worth a thousand words", is considered quite veritable by many people. One must then ask oneself, "If a single captured image of time can represent so much information and feeling, then how much insight can be drawn from an actual experience made up of an infinite number of images"" One gains a vast amount of knowledge through experience. This knowledge might influence a person's thoughts, ideas, and emotions. In particular, a writer might transform these adopted ideas to tangible works of literature. A man by the name of Arthur Miller is, in my opinion, an example of an author whose experiences and personal life inspired his writing and shaped his outlook on society around him. Two of his works including Death of a Salesman, and The Crucible are especially important examples that illustrate Miller's incorporation of personal experience into his writing.
