She returned to her 12th birthday bcuz she thinks it was unimportant. While she was reliving this she realized that all humans are blind. She realized that she took life for granted and did not appreciate the little things. She did not appreciate what she had until she had lost it. In the beginning the other dead people had warned her not to return to the land of the living but she still did it. When she returned she told them "I should have listened to you. That's all human beings are. Just blind people. Thornton wilder is trying to get the readers to appreciate the small things   because later on they become things you regret that you did not appreciate.

hope this helps :)

Compare and contrast traditional education techniques with the process of hypnopaedia. What is gained and what is lost?
kolbaska11 [484]

Hypnopaedia is the technique of learning while sleeping. In this technique a recording is played while the student sleeps and it tends to be saved in your memory. But for the Hypnopaedia to work the mind should be at a stage of fully asleep. The subconscious does not work at the stage of deep sleep.

Traditional Education is more of a fully aware state of learning. This process not only helps us understand and learn things but also tells us how to behave in society. With the changing technology many such techniques might come but the essence of traditional learning is important to interact and  accept the challenges in life.
