Von Trier presents the town of Dogville in a crummy‚ campy yet eye opening setting giving the sense of something bigger than itself. Despite being located in the Rocky Mountains near Georgetown‚ Dogville could be anywhere in the United States‚ but is a place defined by the gold rush of barely a couple years before‚ in the timeline of the film‚ and is a strong allegory to the state of the United States at the time of the films conception. The issues with the United States are apparent in the

Elderly Driving There has been an increase of accidents caused by elderly drivers over the course of many years. With such a dramatic increase‚ should elderly drivers have driving restrictions? I believe that after the age of 75‚ seniors should have to retake their drivers test or have restrictions‚ regardless of their driving record.

Act one tells the daily life of the townsfolk. Act two‚ Love and Marriage‚ focuses mostly on Emily and George‚ and their marriage. I found the first two acts very bland and boring.
