Thornton Wilder expected the audience to feel nostalgic about the setting of Grover's Corners. This event is taken from the "Our Town" play created by Thornton Wilder which tells about a town named Grover's Corners. In the opening scene, the stage manager intends to makes the audience feel nostalgic because he wants to tell them about the town's history. Grover's Corners is described as a small town that does not have big landmarks.
Explanation:
There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our closest allies, our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment, bickering and badgering. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers.
Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence (EQ) succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. Active awareness and empathy—the ability to be aware, accepting, and permanently attuned to ourselves and others—tells us how to respond to one another’s needs.
EQ is incredibly powerful in the family because it puts you in control of your relationships with parents and children, siblings, in-laws and extended family. When you know how you feel, you can’t be manipulated by other’s emotions; nor can you blame family conflict on everyone else. Most of the techniques for improving family relationships are therefore centered on communicating your feelings to those you care about, as close relationships are centered around feeling.
Answer:
Hi all,
Attached are the _____ from this mornings meeting.For all those who couldn't <u>make </u>it the main <u>item</u> on the agenda was the problems of being experienced by our bottling plant and how it affects our order of several litres of oil from our Rite-Price supermarket. The oil was originally <u>meant</u> to be delivered tomorrow , but Tony Pringle , The manager of the plant ,<u>persuaded </u>us to give him an extra day due to a late supply of materials.
To update you <u>on</u> the situation , Tony has just called to <u>confirm</u> that they will not be able to fulfill our order, but he told me he has <u>found</u> a plant who can do the job. I'll be <u>meeting</u> the production manager of this plant this afternoon, which means Carla will <u>be</u> chairing the briefing meeting this afternoon in my place - its vital that everyone attends this meeting in order to keep up to date with the changed plans.
<u>Hopefully</u> there shouldn't be too much of a delay in supplying Rite-Price. I've <u>assured</u> them that will get the order that we will get to them by Tuesday latest. All <u>meant</u> well, they <u>should</u> be happy with that.
I'll be contactable after 5 pm,; Until then , please <u>talk</u> to Carla if you have any queries .
Paco
Hope this helps <3!!!
It depends. Conforming is a passive choice, in order to not have to question and be aware of a situation/action/opinion. I think that if you're non-conforming to whatever the conformity wants, then yes it is another way of conforming because you're still not active in the process. On the other hand, if you decide based on knowledge and information when you want to conform and when you do not want to confirm you're transforming a passive process in an active one. In this case, non-conforming is truly authentic.
