Thornton

In Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, the ghost of a young woman relives a day of her own life. She chose a day that was cheerful and somewhat unimportant, expecting to smile at memories of her childhood, but is only depressed by the lack of appreciation for life of all the people in this reconstructed past. “They don’t understand much, do they?” (III.83) If she had chosen another, more important, more joyous day, then would it have been any better? If anything, it likely would have been worse; more ignorant humans saying more ignorant, closed-minded things, only this time about something more important to her. What if she had chosen her wedding, seen all the things that were going on, all the things people were saying? What if she had heard her own husband’s regret, her own mother’s uncertainty? One can only assume that it would ruin the memory for her.…

Emily Brontë claims the fame of co-author, along with her sisters Anne and Charlotte, of a volume of poetry and author of a single novel, Wuthering Heights, which was published in 1847. Emily also claims the title of the most mysterious Brontë sister, however, this perception of her stems from the lack of any thorough documentation of her life besides her published works and some vague records. She published her novel, which did not gain literary acclaim after her death, under the pseudonym…

Emily Bronte was an amazing poet. She was even more famous for her novel Wuthering Heights, but she wrote other great poems too. She had a certain writing style that reflected on her past.

Kurt Thornton was born February 22, 1996. He was premature and spent the first few week of his life in the hospital due to his health problems. As a child Kurt always wanted to be close to my mother everywhere she went. “One of the things I love about my family is that I know I can trust them. If one us needs help we’re all there for them.” (This provides us with evidence that Kurt passed through the first stage-Trust versus Mistrust.) Sometimes when Kurt was younger he made some mistakes. Like…

e. e. cumming’s poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” and Thornton Wilder’s play “Our Town” share many similarities. Throughout both the poem and the play, each set their focus on time and how it passes without notice with the changing of seasons and weather until death. In an article about the poem the line “Used to tell time long before the invention of clocks and calendars, the seasons, heavenly bodies, and weather are ancient signifiers of time as it passes” (Poetry for Students) helps…

Thornton Dial was an innovative artist who incorporated found objects such as trash and common household items in his pieces. His work often explored dark themes, ranging from war to racism to homelessness. Having grown up in poverty in Emelle, Alabama, Thornton did attend art school; therefore, he was often dismissed by his peers as an outsider or folk artist. Although his circumstances growing up may have prevented him from receiving formal training, I think that Thornton Dial’s experiences…

Algona High School’s production of “Our Town” by playwright Thornton Wilder shows that life in itself is beautiful and interesting, but that humans take it for granted every day. This is shown by the activities of everyday people living in Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire. This play shows that even the most mundane tasks and daily activities are still valuable and significant in life, and that though you may not see the end coming, it will come, and that this life we have is transient. The first…

The representations of masculinity and femininity portrayed by Thornton and her supporting cast in the previous two chapters, though telling of the expectations of behavior, need to be placed in the context of the contemporary public media. The extent to which the media sought to downplay any implications of transgressive behavior will be determined in light of the expected reading audience. Additionally, this section will examine the changing nature of the media industry during the 1830s and of…
