The play‚ “Our Town”‚ as a whole is remarkably interesting‚ the characters‚ the story manger always stopping the story at random times because he feels like that is all the reader needs to know.

The morning meaning birth in Act I‚ the wedding that shows how life moves along in Act II‚ and the night meaning death at the end of Act III. There are so many different reasons on why I like the play. From the characters‚ to the setting
