Thomas Paine questioned British authority for many reasons. Some of the main ones were that Britain is too far away and because of that should leave America alone; another was that they always wage wars in which America suffers; another was that the American people ran away from the crown just to be greeted by a country where the same crown rules. The list of reasons goes on and on and on.

The value of the smallest events in our lives build up the content of our own lives, our decisions thus the result of our actions. Health, love, relationships, food and feelings sometimes are given for granted, it is only when one lives or goes through a problem that we are able to reflect on their importance.

Act I: Daily life, which describes the history of the town (Grover's Corners, new Hampshire, 1901), and tells about the lives of common people, could contain the following verses: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one Our comforts and our cares.

Act II: Love and marriage (three years later) is mainly about a couple who is about to get married, they love each other but are not sure about wedding, in the end they follow their families's wishes and get married. Possible verses: We share each other's woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. When we must sunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And hopes to see the day.

Act III:Death and Eternity, after nine years, the life in the town have changed dramatically, it even takes place in the graveyard, some citizens passed away by accidents, illness, even suicide. The girl who got married on the second act, Emily, died as well. She is able to witness how people (living ones) do not realize the importance of the value of life. Verses: But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And hopes to see the day. From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.
