https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv Use this week's Padlet to share an observation from one of the trailers we watched for the play, and choose a golden line that you think is the most important in the Act II Monologue, or Act II Scene I. en-us 2018-12-12 08:20:49 UTC 2025-10-12 12:16:50 UTC hello@padlet.com elizabethbos https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/313741438 Both trailers illustrated that Our Town has endured because the play is so relatable. George and Emily could be two teenagers growing up in any town in the United States, in any era. We could meet them on the street in Pella. 
My Most Important Line for Act II Scene I: 
"GEORGE: Good morning everybody, only five more hours to live"(Wilder 56). This is a deceptively simple line. George is kidding, and his mind is on going to Emily's house to say good morning to her on their wedding day, but for the audience who knows that Death and Eternity are just pages away, George's line takes on much greater significance. Emily will die just nine years later, in 1913. The time will pass by so quickly, it will feel like just hours...]]> 2018-12-12 08:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/313741438 sopmill23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287301 I noticed in the Trailers that there are hardly any props. Most people say it's the most preformed play because of how easy it is to preform it. All you really need to preform it is, a ladder, table, chairs, and actors.
 
"Almost everybody in the world get married, -you know what I mean? In our town there aren't hardly any exceptions. Most everybody in the world climbs into their graves married" (Wilder 48). 
I choose this line because I think that George and Emily getting married is just a normal thing in Grover's Corner. "Most everybody in the world climbs into their graves married."]]> 2018-12-13 15:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287301 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287391 One thing I noticed from the trailers was that the directors wanted the play to be very relatable to anyone. They made the play believable and something that happens to almost everyone in their lives. They don't need many props and any age can perform it. I think the reason it's still being performed everyday is because it's always been relatable.  
Golden Line: "...-This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying" (Wilder 33). I think this golden line shows what everyone's life is made up of.

"and the white-haired lady at your side has eaten over fifty thousand meals with you" i chose this because it really tells how long they will be together.]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287399 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287418 I noticed that the US trailer, the actors were younger than the British ones, yet they all had the same acting skills to get the performance across to the audience.
Golden line- "From tomorrow on you can kill yourself in all weathers, but while you're in my house you'll live wisely"(Wilder 56). This line shows that George will grow out of his childish ways once he marries Emily. But at that moment he had to be stuck with his mother. I also think that the line foreshadows the death of Emily. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287418 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287440 I noticed that in the US play the actors who played George and Emily were around high school age, but in the UK one George and Emily looked like they were much older. 
Golden Line: "From tomorrow on you can kill yourself in all weathers, but while you're in my house you'll live wisely"(Wilder 56). I chose this as my golden line because George's mother still treats him like a kid, even though he's about to get married.]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287440 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287454 I notice in the trailers that there is a lot of thought that goes into casting a play like Our Town. I noticed that in both trailers it commented on this play being so relate able to everyone. In the trailers it just seems like they talk about this play being written by someone who had never written a play before. They play was so famous to be written by someone who didn't know much about writing plays. Golden line - "Nothing much, except we're losing about the best baseball pitcher Grover's Corner ever had - George Gibbs"(Wilder 50). I chose this line because it foreshadows to something bad happening. It also is showing how when someone gets married, it is like losing them.]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287454 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287569 One thing I noticed in the trailers is that both of the directors seemed to have the same visions for the play. They both took the idea of modern, relatable simplicity and applied it to the main idea of the play.
Most important line for Act II:
"MRS GIBBS: ...while you're in my house you'll live wisely, thank you"(Wilder 56).
I think that this is important because it shows how Mrs. Gibbs feels about her son getting married.]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287569 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287572 boath tralers had yung children playing the roles of gorge and emily. boath people menchioned that the play was popular. boath guys told what the play was about. 
golden line. 
emily: i cant work at all the moon lights so terabul. (wilder 35)
it seems that she is just trying to make conversation. i think this because a couple pages later she telles her dad that the moon light is wonderful and its still the same night.

]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287572 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287609 One thing that I noticed in the trailers was  that anyone can  be the actors for George and Emily because one had two  adults and than one had some people closer to what I think they would look like.
George: Good morning everybody, only five more hours to live"(Wilder 56).  I think this is one of many very important lines because it is almost telling us that someone might die and that is Emily.

]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287609 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287640 I really like one of the last lines from the second trailer we watched from the UK. He said something like "it relates to everybody in a unique and specific way." 

A Golden Line from Act ll: "some babies that weren't even born before have started talking regular sentences already; and a number of people who thought they were right young and spry have noticed that they can't bound up a flight of stairs like they used to, without their heart fluttering a little.
All that can happen in a thousand days.(Wilder 47)." 

I chose this because it is a good example of the stage manager using time. almost every time he speaks talks about the passing of time. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287640 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287660 I noticed most of the things are the same in both performances. 
Golden Line\Passage:
Page 37.
I thought this converstion was important because he says what he wants to do in the future but he doesn't work that hard.

]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287660 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287711 I noticed in the trailer that the directors wanted the play to be seen not just as an ordinary play, but a life lesson. The first director wanted someone to play the stage manager that looked caring and friendly, that is a great way to really get the meaning of the story.

Golden Line: "Some babies that weren't even born before have begun talking regular sentences already; and a number of people who thought they were right young and spry have noticed that they can't bound up a flight of stairs like they used to, without their heart fluttering a little.

All that can happen in a thousand days." (Wilder 47)
I chose this because it shows how much can changes, just in a thousand days. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287711 isanate23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287776 I saw that it dosent matter how old you are the first people were not that old and the UK one had older people. 
Golden line 
mr. Webb If anything about your wife irritates you get up and leave. 
George: well mr. Webb i dont think i could do so. 
Mr. Webb 
so I took the opposite of my fathers advice and been happy ever since. 
Wilder (60) ]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287776 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287828 I noticed from the trailer´s that every time they preform Our Town they try to make relateable and tried to make the stage manger just like your grandpa or just a nice older fellow. My golden is: ¨You know how it is: you´re twenty-one or twenty-two and you make some decision; then whisssh!¨(Wilder 62) I chose this line because it reminds me of something an older person would tell me about love and weddings. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287828 holdevr23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287914 Trailers and Most Important Line:
I liked how the first trailer they interviewed the characters, and how they showed some of the scenes. The second trailer I liked how they also showed some scenes but they used older people for George and Emily when it looks better with high school kids. an Important line that I found was: George-Good morning, everybody. ONLY 5 MORE HOURS TO LIVE.(makes the gesture of cutting his throat, and a loud”k-k-k” and starts through the trellis.)(Wilder, 56) In this line George gives us a hint that someone will die soon. And later in the play, you will find out that Emily will die. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287914 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287921 In both tralliars, George and Emily are random people that you could see walking on a street.  The play also does not use  costumes or they do not use a props. 

Golden line: "Emily, what do you think? We might work out a kinda a telegraph from your window to mine; and once in a while you could give me a kinda hint or two about on of those algebra problems".]]> 2018-12-13 15:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314287921 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314288311 I noticed in the first trailer that the characters seemed to fit very well. There was one little clip I remember seeing that the person playing George seemed like he really connected with George.
Golden Line:
"Howie Newsome
My wife says to tell you we both hope they'll be very happy, Mrs. Gibbs. Know they will"(Thornton 51).]]> 2018-12-13 15:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314288311 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314288456 I noticed that in the trailers that they used young actors and older ones. 
Golden line: From tomorrow on you can kill yourself in all weathers, but while you're in my house you'll live wisely, thank you -- maybe Mr. Webb isn't used to callers at 7 in the morning.. --Here, take a cup of coffee first" (wilder 56)]]> 2018-12-13 15:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314288456 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314288952 One thing that I noticed from both of the trailers was how in depth the characters got, especially in the last act. After the devastating loss of Emily, it seemed to me like the people playing George and Emily got more into character. Since we can relate to that, it was easier for them, but it wasn't easy at the same time. Our Town does that to us!
"I can't work at all. The moonlight's so terrible" (Wilder 35). 
I chose this line because it is so simple and relatable, yet is so important to the story. It shows how much meaning the moonlight has to George and Emily. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314288952 jasfowl23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314289133 I noticed that in both trailers they chose really simple people to play Emily and George. They are just a couple of people that you could run into on the street.
Golden Line:
EMILY: ...Good-by, Good-by world. Good-by, Grover's Corners... Mama and Papa. Good-by to clocks ticking... and Mama's sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths... and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anyone to realize you. (She looks toward the Stage Manager and asks abruptly, through her tears:) Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?-- every, every, minute?
STAGE MANAGER: No. (Pause) The saints and poets, maybe-- they do some.  (Wilder 108)]]> 2018-12-13 15:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314289133 ausvans23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314290437 In the trailer (american version) they really fit charicters.I also noticed that they used all ages for Goerge and emily.
George:"Good morning, everybody. only five more hours to live" Makes gesture cutting throught (wilder 56).  ]]> 2018-12-13 15:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314290437 bengoss23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313445 Noticing: I noticed that in London's cast George and Emily were a little bit older than the US' cast. I also noticed that it was more just the director talking than some of the cast in the London video.
Golden Line:
 "Emily: They don't understand, do they?
Mrs. Gibbs: No, dear. They don't understand"(Wilder 111).]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313445 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313454 I am now constantly getting these two questions that bounce off the walls of my brain. 1. Why did Thornton Wilder choose to have the play constantly break the fourth  wall? 2. How does Emily die?
"'George: Good morning, everybody. Only five more hours to live (Wilder 56)"'
I chose this line because it is ironic that George says he is going to die in 5 hours but really Emily will be the one to die.]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313454 clavand23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313547 Noticing about Trailers: I noticed that a lot of the actors look different from each other, for example the American Emily had red hair and the British Emily had dark brown hair. This makes me wonder if there are any descriptions of the characters in act 1 or if Thornton Wilder leaves it up to you.

Golden Line: "Just stepping across the grass to see my girl." (Wilder, 56). I think this line is important because although George says that he only has five more hours to live, this line shows how much he loves Emily and is excited to marry her.


]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313547 karande23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313575 Noticing from Trailer - I liked how the 1st trailer actually sat down with the people playing George and Emily and they gave their point of view and why they love playing the parts that they are.

Golden Line - "I was the scaredest young fella in the State of New Hampshire. I thought I'd make a mistake for sure" (Wilder 53).
That's not a great thing to tell a guy who's about to get married. I would think you would try to calm his nerves, not tell him things that would make him more nervous.]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313575 elivink23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313581 One of the things I noticed was that it doesn't happen in a big city like New York, but instead it happens in a small town called Grover's Corners in the state of New Hampshire. This encourages the idea that George and Emily could be anyone from anywhere. From any ordinary town and state. It also encourages the idea that we should take pleasure in the ordinary and live life to the fullest. "EMILY: ...Good-by, Good-by world. Good-by, Grover's Corners... Mama and Papa. Good-by to clocks ticking... and Mama's sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths... and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anyone to realize you. (She looks toward the Stage Manager and asks abruptly, through her tears:) Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?-- every, every, minute?
STAGE MANAGER: No. (Pause) The saints and poets, maybe-- they do some."  (Wilder 108)]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313581 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313719 Something I noticed was that David Crower in the second video mentioned that Our Town was performed at least once a day in the world, and probably twice a day in the U.S. That is a massive statistic that shows the huge popularity of the play. I think that that was really interesting to hear and it made me wonder if another play will become as popular soon, because Our Town is pretty old and it can't be the top play forever. 
Golden Line from Act II: "Three years have gone by. Yes, the sun's come up over a thousand times. Summers and winters have cracked the mountains a little bit more and the rains have brought down some of the dirt... ...All that can happen in a thousand days"(Wilder 47). This golden line illustrates what happened between Act 1 and Act II, not necessarily between George and Emily, but everywhere. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313719 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313738 One thing that I noticed was that both videos said Our Town was one if not the most performed play in the world because everyone knows about Our Town by Thornton Wilder
Golden Line: " George, Emily's got to come downstairs and eat her breakfast. She sends you her love but she doesn't want to lay eyes on you. Good-by". (Wilder 61]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313738 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313741 I noticed that the people in the first trailer, just seemed like ordinary people, nothing special or something that catches your attention, just regular people. And that's what George and Emily would have been like in the play. "Goodness! You frightened me!--Now, George, you can come in a minute out of the wet, but you know I can't ask you in(Wilder 57). I chose this line because it just shows the irony between George and Emily's parents on the wedding day.]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313741 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313778 I noticed that in both of the trailers, the director talks about how famous and relatable Our Town is. They both talked about how the audience can relate to at least one of the characters in the play.
I like the scene in the 2nd Act when Mrs. Webb and Mr. Webb are arguing. I think it is funny and I can just see the old couple arguing. 
Golden line:
"Myrtle, I guess you don't know about that older superstition."
"What do you mean, Charles?"
"Since the cave men: no bridegroom should see his father-in-law on the day of the wedding, or near it. Now remember that (Wilder 62).]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313778 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313780 After watching these 2 scenes with different cast members I realized that there isn't 1 specific cast member that is a perfect fit for Emily or George's roll in the play. They all looked a little bit different. One was older, one was younger, one had red hair, and one had dark brown hair. That just proves that it doesn't matter what you look like and I'm sure they both did a great job performing their character. This isn't related to I said above, but my golden line for the 1st couple of acts would be "You're seventy: you've been a lawyer for fifty years, and the white-haired lady at your side has eaten over fifty thousand meals with you" (Wilder, 62) I chose this line because it is a little bit of forshadowing because they think they are going to be together alive forever.]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313780 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313786 Noticing: Something that I noticed from the trailer is that one of the actors mentions, "No two plays are the same. It depends on the directors, actors, etc." This is a true statement. Wilder gives some space for the director to put in whatever props and things like that. I think that makes the play unique and it makes the play special.
Golden Line: “The morning star always gets wonderful bright the minute before it has to go, -- doesn’t it?” (Wilder 4) I think that this is a good line since it foreshadows what is going to happen in the book.

]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313786 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313797 I noticed that in the 2nd one David said that the play was probably preformed 2 times a day and we are part of that sometimes in theater. This play has very simple props but has a huge relation to everyone everywhere living a normal life, growing up, getting married and dying. 
"You've got to love life to have life and have to have life to love it," (Wilder 49). I think this golden line says that you have to love living to have life but if you don't have life you will not love it. Life is like money. Everyone wants more. More money and more time to do things and buy things. Money can not come without life. Life may be more important than money but people want money and don't think about life. We do not know how great life is when we live and do not know have it. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313797 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313823 The difference that I saw between the characters is that the Cast in the US looked much younger than the cast that was chosen in London. Something that I noticed about them was the fact that they are normal people and they are not people that you could look and kind in a magazine that are perfect and have no flaws, they are just normal everyday people from a small town where everyone knows eachother.

An important line for the whole play is a line from the stage manager, in act 2 he says. "You've got to love life to have life and have to have life to love it." (Wilder 49) I like this line because so many poeple take their life for granted. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313823 jacfanc23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313826 One thing that I noticed is that in the US they had younger people but in the UK they had older people. So there doesn't have to be  one set age for george and emily.
Golden Line: Well, if you love me, help me. All I want is someone to love me. (Wilder 8)]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313826 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313838 Something that I noticed in the trailers was that both directors took the play different ways. They both added their own little effects and different use of props. They mentioned how if they were stuck, they would just refer back to the name of the play for help: Our Town. It means that it could happen in any little town, and  is happening all around the world right now. Different variations of the same love story in different small towns.

Stage Manager: There's an early afternoon calm in our town: a buzzin' and a hummin' from the school buildings; only a few buggies on Main Street - the horses dozing at the hitching posts; you all remember what it's like (Wilder 26).

I chose this passage because this could be any small town, but this play is focusing on one.

The UK looked like professional actors. "Yes, the sun's come up over a thousand times," (Wilder 46). This line is showing all the little things that can happen in a large amount of time. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313874 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313901 I thought that is was really important that both of the trailers showed how it could be in any town with teenagers in the US during any era. it showed how relatable the play is to lots of situations.

"MRS GIBBS: From tomorrow on you can kill yourself in all weathers"  (Wilder 56) When Mrs. Gibbs says this she is foreshadowing the death of Emily that is just a few pages away. This is just one time where death was mentioned and there were many other times when it happened. ]]> 2018-12-13 15:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314313901 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314314019 In the trailers, I noticed that they chose characters very carefully. They wanted the actors to fit the characters and relate to them. They also used actors of all ages. 
"George, I was thinking the other night of some advice my father gave me when I got married...So I took the opposite of my father's advice and I've been happy ever since,"(Wilder 60).]]> 2018-12-13 15:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314314019 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314314032 In one of the trailers we watched, the director talked about how important the stage manager is to the play. He said how in Our Town, they'd needed to cast a person that people related with well. I agree with him on this. The stage manager is on so often and he has such deep insights that he needs to be relatable to audiences. People need to relate with the stage manager, which helps  them understand more of what he's really saying.
"You've got to love life to have life, and you've got to have life to love life....It's what they call a vicious circle."

Their is love, sadness, doubt, happiness and many more. I say sadness because in the end Emily dies and leaves her husband George here. Their is love because Emily and George get married. Their is also doubt on the day of the wedding. Mrs. Webb also is very short tempered because when George was over on the wedding day so pretty much kicked him out of her house. As you can see that their is so much emotions going on with this play.
Golden Line:
"George, Emily's got ot come downstairs and eat her breakfast she sends you her love but she doesn't want to lay eyes on you. Good-by"(Wilder 61).]]> 2018-12-13 15:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314314178 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314314200 I noticed how both directors talked about how often its performed and I think that's because it takes everyday things and put them into a play that everyone can relate to.  

"The first act is about daily life. The second act is called love and marriage.There's another act coming after this: I reckon you can guess what that's about."

This amazes me because there are a ton of plays out there that are also good.
A line I really think is important in ACT II is.....
"Well, up to a year ago I used to like you a lot. And I used to watch you as you did everything.....because we'd been friends so long.....and then you began spending all your time at baseball.....and you never stopped to speak to anybody any more. Not even to your own family you didn't.....and, George, it's a fact, you've got awful conceited and stuck-up, and all the girls say so. They may not say it to your face, but that's what they say about you behind your back, and it hurts me to hear them say it, but I've got to agree with them a little. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings.....but I can't be sorry I said it. - Emily Webb
(Wilder 65)
I think this is important to the book because it shows that the people in our town forget what is actually happening because they are enjoying and not realizing what is going on. This also foreshadows to Emily's death. Later on, George and Emily are too busy going through life and don't realize when there time may end. It's also like the poem Camaro by Phil Kaye. The wet cement foreshadowing that his love life won't stay. George and Emily are like the same way. They won't stay too long together.]]> 2018-12-13 15:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314314307 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314315561 Noticing: I noticed that in both trailers they both mentioned how popular Our Town is. In the second trailer they said that Our Town was probably performed twice every day in the US.
Golden Line: My Golden Line from Act II is, Oh age hasn't much to do with it, George,--not compared with... uh ... other things (Wilder 60). I don't know what Mr. Webb was going to say, but I think it may be important and could be something about Emily.]]> 2018-12-13 15:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314315561 beabush23 https://padlet.com/elizabethbos/96hyvr4x5rgv/wish/314670319 I noticed that both of the trailers they portrayed the stage manager as an older man and that seemed perfect. He seemed like the old man that sits on the bench and feeds the pigeons and sees what all goes on around the town.
