The correct answer is both A and B. Thematic development is simply the development of the main theme or themes of an artistic work. For Our Town, the main theme is that people should enjoy and appreciate every happy and small moment and detail in life as they live through them for life is too short and those moments are then gone from time and into memory, never to come back. When Emily dramatically and tearfully says goodbye not only to people she loves but to inanimate things as “clocks ticking, sunflowers, food and coffee. And new-ironed dresses and hot bath . . . and sleeping and waking up” She realizes how all of these small details and moments made her happy and filled her life with love and light. The ticking clock is a recurrent motif of the play as it reinforces the fact that time flies and then it is gone. Because all of these inanimate objects and actions symbolize and personify the beauty and the happiness of ordinary life, the language is thus figurative as she is not saying goodbye to a ticking clock or a sunflower or a dress but to the joy these objects gave her which enhanced the love she received and gave.

Which type of speech would you give if you wanted to convince your audience not to drop out of school?
Dafna1 [17]

<u>A persuasive speech</u>.

A persuasive speech is defined as <em>a specific type of speech in which the speaker has a goal of convincing the audience to accept his or her point of view</em><em>. </em>Since what you're looking for is to <u>convince</u> your audience not to drop out of school, then this speech would be the most appropiate.

Definitely not an extemporaneous speech as this is carried out or performed with little or no preparation and that would not push your audience to want to stay in school. Not an entertaining speech because entertaining an audience is not the same as convincing them.

Therefore, you should go with a persuasive speech.
