In the summer of 2015, my disinterest was turned into a passion when I met the children from Broadlawn. Broadlawn is a public housing community in my city and my church wanted to intercede and help their community. Our church decided that every Tuesday throughout the summer we would go out to Broadlawn to eat, talk, and play with the kids from the neighborhood. After some nagging from friends and family, I decided to tag along one Tuesday to help.…

    Analysis Of Our Town

    • 677 Words

    Adaptation of Our Town Of the three versions of Our Town that we viewed in class, the PBS 2003 version best portrayed what the author Thornton Wilder wanted. Our Town is quite a unique play due to the fact that unlike most play’s the Stage Manager is on the stage rather than behind the scenes. The Stage Manager is also a character in the play itself and acts as a narrator in the play, so he talks directly to the audience the majority of the time. This unique characteristic allows a director to make frequent creative choices that can create a variety of different versions of the play for audience members to view The NBC 1977 version of Our Town was not the least akin to what Thornton Wilder wanted, but it was my personal least favorite.…

    1. In part 3 of “A Small Place”, Kincaid addresses many criticisms of the people, the government and politics, and the immigrants in modern day Antiguan. Kincaid explains Antiguans' still-powerful emotions regarding slavery and emancipation; She states that people who live "in a small place", "cannot see themselves in the larger picture" (3.2). This concept can be ironic because Antiguans celebrate "a school that teaches Antiguans how to be good servants" (3.4), and rail against slavery without seeing the connection between the two.…
