Our Town is a play written by Thornton Wilder that I absoluteley loved. I´ve never been so enganged on a play before. It is well written and on the movie, well acted, but right now I am talking about the book. It transmitted lots of emotions like fear, sadness, happiness, etc. I need to mention that I really felt sadness when Emily Webb says:
Mama, fourteen years have gone by. I ´m dead. You are a grandmother, Mama. I married George Gibbs, Mama. Wally is dead, too. Mama, his appendix burst on a camping trip to North Conway. We felt terrible about it – don ´ t you remember? But, just for a moment we are all together. Mama, just for a moment we are happy. Let ´ s look at one another.
I really felt like us humans don´t actually appreciate life the way we are supposed to, we never know if we are going to wake up next day. When we say goodbye to someone, we don´t know if next day we are going to see them. We don´t appreciate everything we have and how blessed we are until we loose it, and that is not how we are supposed to live. This book really inspired me to try my best every day and take care and appreciate everything because I don´t know if tomorrow I am going to die or loose everything.
In conclusion, this play should be read by everyone so human beings can not only appreciate a good book/play and gain some knowledge but learn some lessons about life.
