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. 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. In the third act‚ it was actually interesting because there was some real conflict with George. I also found it more interesting

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. I really like the metaphor that is being used throughout the play. 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

I have always loved parts of Native American culture. Growing up‚ I read a mystery series about a girl named Mandy‚ and throughout the series her family is introduced. Part of her family is Cherokee‚ and they are peaceful Christians‚ at least in this series. I also watched a number of shows such as The Lone Ranger that showed Native Americans in a positive and peaceful light. Of course I also learned about the warrior history of certain Indian tribes‚ and how they were mistreated by outsiders while
