Our Town is written by Thornton Wilder. It’s a book about some pretty simple normal lives, but a few years later when all the main characters are “spirits/ghosts” their lives become quite abnormal with time travelling back to previous events to relive the beautiful moments of life. One part that I would like to focus on is when Emily, the deceased wife of George Gibbs, travels back in time to her 12th birthday. She goes back to appreciate the good times, but as she watches everything thing happen, she says that everything is happening too fast, and knowing how she is due to die in 14 or more years, she sees as no one is appreciating the little time they have. In this you can see the change within Emily, on her perspective on life, hence the Category “To Change or Not to Change”. It made me a bit happy seeing how Emily changed her view on life (all it took was death haha), the sad thing though is that she didn’t love it while she was there, and time flew by, and once she passed, she started to miss the beauty of the world.
