Our Town by Thornton Wilder is a modernist play because it explores the transience of human life, in a sense that the characters in the play highlight the significance of the little things that they do in their daily lives. The play is also narrated through the view of a stage manager which openly tells the audience about how the stage is designed and what each prop is meant for. The stage manager is a character both inside and outside the play which blurs the wall between the reality that what the audience is about to see is fictional, and the fiction that the play is supposedly real in the character's point of view. This characteristic of the play destabilizes the line between fact and fiction and is considered a modernist play based on that setting itself, among all other themes of the play.

How does Yezierska’s account apply to today’s concerns on immigration and the lives of recent immigrants?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Anzia Yezierska was an American author of the late 1800s and early 1900s who wrote stories about Jewish immigrants living in poverty or other unsatisfactory conditions of the Gilded Age.

Today's concerns on immigration - can I just summarize in one word - Trump. Donald Trump, the current president of the United States, has enforced a crackdown on immigration, even going so far as to promise that a wall will be built between Mexico and America to keep out illegal entrants.

Yezierska's novels bring out the humanity in these people. She wrote them to give perspective to educated readers the hardships of being a member of the working class, of being manipulated by bosses and high class. These opinions and points of view are particularly salient today because of the debate over immigration in the US.

Why is journalism important to our society? Why is it important to your daily life? (Two full sentences)
Lana71 [14]
Journalism is important to our society and daily lives because they let us know what is going on in the world. Without journalism we went to know the latest fashion trends or latest news about the president or about what happened back in the day.
