My personal response to Our Town by Thorton Wilder

I found that Our Town was an okay book/play but it wasn’t as good as the novela Master and Man but it was better than the story of Joseph. Also after watching the play I had lots of different thoughts about but I must say that I thought it was kind of weird how there were the talking ghosts at the end. I can definitely say that there was a plot twist when Emily ends up dying like that was so surprising to me. It was kind of weird that in the third act Emily evoked on a reflection in life. I enjoyed how the play our town was more of an easier read compared to Master and Man or the Joseph story. In the end when emily goes back to relive a memory it kind of made me think about life more specifically the play kind of was encouraging that we should be present and mindful of our lives because most of us just take it for granted. This book/play is definitely something that I haven’t read before but I thought that it was pretty interesting to read this play/book. Although I don’t think that i would reread this book/play its that type of thing that you read once and then forget about it.
