The playwright Our Town features a wide range of philosophizing that one would not usually expect from such a traditional and classic play. The play’s author‚ Thornton Wilder‚ does an exceptional job characterizing his characters‚ with many seeming completely normal yet others clearly extraordinarily wise.

Part One of Elmer Towns’ Concise Bible Doctrines introduces Christian theology by outlining the key pieces of the doctrine to help the reader understand Christianity and faith.

Man is born with a sin nature‚ and because he is less than holy‚ he is isolated and alienated from God. Death is imminent for everyone

I pulled into the parking lot of the gas station to address this and witnessed a black male nervously walk away from a white Lincoln Town Car parked in front of the business.

“There are things about growing up in a small town that you can’t necessarily quantify.”--Brandon Routh. Growing up in a smaller town provided me with the exclusive benefit of spending more time with my family and friends. I was also able to dodge a hectic lifestyle that comes with living in a larger city. I also believe that living in a small city provides a more nostalgic and cozy feeling. Growing up I created great memories with my mother‚ father‚ and brother. To begin‚ growing up I created wonderful

communities would be homeless. However‚ despite this‚ the government has not approved these communities and the land they take is not theirs to live on. This has led to an interesting debate on whether the government can make the settlers in the shanty towns pack up and move when they are desperate and are in need of somewhere to live. Additionally‚ the land these slums take up is usually in prime locations for city expansion and so can sometime restrain city growth‚ which begs the question on whether

Our car literally broke down in an abandoned town because of a stupid dare. How? Is this even a joke? Is this some kind of a dream where it comes from those kind of horror movies? No. We are stuck. Can’t get out. And the foggs were starting to get thicker and thicker as the time walks. Looking around. Buildings were dead‚ trees were dead ‘everything’ there was dead. No sound of wind. Just complete silence. Even no signals reach here. What do you expect from an abandoned place. The sun

Although E. E. Cummings’ poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town” emphasizes themes of independence‚ defiance‚ and love; and Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” emphasizes themes of making choices and feeling regret; it is apparent that by analyzing the poems side by side that they both highlight the concept of being forced to choose one side or the other and the difference between the right choice and the common choice. No two poems can be exactly similar to another; so despite having many
