Thornton Wilder resorts to the audience's imagination in his non-traditional play "Our Town" because he uses a barren stage. However, Wilder sets the act scenes in such a way that the viewers can imagine that the setting is in a town and that trivial everyday scenes are performed. The elements from the stage that activate the audience's imagination are the roles played by the stage managers and the characters' own words. The stage managers are not ficticious ; they address the audience directly to link them with the actions in the play. The stage managers are unbound to time and place ,so the audience will have to imagine them. Then, the characters' words function as the audience's source of imagery. The writer's resort to imagination is significant because the viewers will have an active role in the interpretation of the play.They will feel directly involved in the issues developed in it: birth, marriage and death.

sweet [91]
D. balance

A person’s vestibular sense helps control balance. In most mammals, the vestibular system is the sensory system that has the leading contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance. The vestibular sense reacts to a change in the positioning of the head or when the feet are lifted of the ground. This can also help in regulating a child to keep him/her focused and attentive. Examples of activities that need vestibular input are: somersaults, swinging, hanging upside down form a monkey bar.

Analyze the setting that Dante develops in Canto IV. Examine how 1) the choices he makes to describe the setting and 2) the char
Jlenok [28]

1) In Canto IV of "Inferno", Dante descends into Limbo, the First Circle of Hell. He tries to fix his eyes in order to know the place where he is. 'Limbus' in latin means edge, borger, margin. Dante chooses pictorical and musical elements to describe the setting. He distinguishes sounds: «Here, as mine ear could note, no plaint was heard / Except of sighs, that made the eternal air / Tremble, not caused by tortures, but from grief». It's a place of «shadowy sadness», «dark and deep and murky». It's a «blind world» beacuse here lie men and women that never knew the light of hope that is Christ. The pale faces of Virgil and other characters reveal the anguish of knowing the they will never enjoy the presence of God. Eventhough, near the end of the Canto IV, Dante characterizes this circle as serene in comparisson with climate with storms and where no light shines that is properly Hell.

2) According to medieval theologists, this was the place where babies whithout being baptized rested. Also, this place exists for patriarchs, virtuous people whose only fault was not to be baptized. For his time, Dante was daring, because he gave more importance to figures like Aristotle and Homer than to the unbaptized infants. Some of the characters the Dante places in Limbo are easily known, like Aristotle, Democritus and Homer. He names many biblical figures, such as Noah, Abel and Moses. Dante meets many characters from Greek and Latin tradition. Naso and Lucan are some examples. Other characters are mythological: like Hector or Electra. There are also a muslims: Saladin, Avicenna and Averroes. This many characters make difficult to understand this circle, since they imply numerous traditions: poetry, philsophy, mathematics, heroes.
