After reading Thornton Wilder’s book‚ Our Town‚ I believe that it focuses mainly on the changes that we see in human life‚ for example‚ in the play of Our Town‚ we see the milkman always talking to the paperboy.

Our Town is a metatheatrical three-act play written by Thornton Wilder. Our Town is the story of the day-to-day lives of the residents of Grover’s Corners. The story is broken up into three acts.
