So So Lonely Who is R.J. Bowman? He is a man in Eudroa Welthy’s story Death of a Traveling Salesman. Through Welthy’s imagery, she dramatize Bowman’s sense of his own loneliness, and the emptiness of his own human relationship. Welthy successfully achieve that by using visual, auditory and tactile imagery. Welthy starts the essay by giving a visual image to show Bowman’s loneliness. She says, “R.J. Bowman, who for fourteen years had traveled for a shoe company through Mississippi, drove his Ford along a rutted dirt path.” Telling the reader that Bowman is a traveling shoes salesman and drives a ford in the middle of nowhere gives readers a visual image of a sad man that is living life
