PASSAGE-In the play Our Town, the set is extremely sparse, including only a few chairs for the actors to sit in. All of the characters' actions — such as shelling beans, delivering newspapers, or leading horses — are pantomimed and use no actual props. The play dramatizes the lives of people in a small New Hampshire town in 1901, focusing on the characters George Gibbs and Emily Webb. George and Emily meet in high school, fall in love, and marry. Nine years later, Emily dies while giving birth to her second child. In the last act of the play, Emily is allowed to go back and relive one day of her life. She chooses her 12th birthday, and she is amazed by how young her parents look, how happy her family seems, and how no one really sees how wonderful life is — even ordinary life. Eventually, Emily can't bear to keep watching and asks to be taken back to her grave, saying how human beings "don't understand" the beauty of the lives they live.

QUESTION- explain how the motif of pantomiming everyday actions contributes to the play's larger meaning. Use specific examples from the summary in your response.

Pantomiming gives the effect of reliving a memory. Without props, movements a dreamlike state, as if parts of the scenes are fading from reality (the objects they have actions with). This fits with Emily's death as it illustrates the entire play as if it were a figment of reality that wasn't entirely earned by her, since her life cuts short. It makes the rest of the play seem like Emily was living on "borrowed time," with parts of it fading away even before her death.

paine is arguying that they had tried everything before coming to the conclusion that they needed to fight for their freedom.

argument: "every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual."

claim 1: "our prayers have been rejected with disdain; and only tended to convince us, that nothing flatters vanity, or confirms obstinacy in kings more than repeated petitioning and nothing hath contributed more than that very measure to make the kings of europe absolute."

claim 2: "wherefore, since nothing but blows will do, for god’s sake, let us come to a final separation, and not leave the next generation to be cutting throats, under the violated unmeaning names of parent and child."
