Question

1. Our Town is a play that sparks feelings of nostalgia in many readers and viewers. This nostalgia can be largely attributed to Thornton Wilder’s depiction of the town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, as a simple yet charming place to live. Think about a place where you have lived or where you have spent a fair amount of time. What aspects of that place are you nostalgic for? What things (sights, smells, sounds, and/or events) tend to spark these feelings of nostalgia?

Answer 1

I miss the province where my grandparents lived. It is vastly different from the bustling city I'm living in. I miss the people there. Everyone knows everybody else and I am welcome in most homes. The pace is relaxed and it is an ideal vacation place for me. I have the time to leisurely bond with my relatives and friends.

Eating is a bonding and a savoring experience. Waterfalls, rivers, and mountainsides are only a motorcycle ride away. I love the place. It is where I can be silent, content, and happy.
