Our Town

I absolutely love this play. It is so moving and teaches us all an important lesson. I suppose I love this play so much because I fully believe in living life to the fullest and not letting opportunities just pass you by. I found the acts to be very nicely organized. The first act is about early life, the second about finding love and getting married, and the last about death. There is something so touching about the way Emily reflects on her life. Life is short and you really have to seize and appreciate every moment. I love stories that deal with appreciating life and inspire you to live to the fullest. I found a similar theme in the musical Rent: by the end of the story you realize that one of the most important things is to live for today and cherish your friends. We all need to realize that we do not have forever and we need to make the most of the time we have on earth. I truly love this play because appreciating life is something that is very important to me. This play emphasizes how important friendships and relationships are and how we must appreciate the people in our lives. Fun fact: My high school yearbook senior quote was "There's only us, there's only this; Forget regret or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way, no day but today" :) Haha. Carpe Diem!
