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?

I am nostalgic for the happy memories in my childhood and with people I spent time with. The voices and faces of people I love especially those I have not seen for a long time spark these feelings of nostalgia. Remembering the past is a way of shaping my hopes for the future.
