Town

Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town" provides audiences with a glimpse into the lives of people inhabiting the small town of Grover's Corners. People in this town are relatively simple individuals and the first two acts actually emphasize the stability there by showing how individuals are inclined to connect to each-other as if they were part of a larger family.

I consider it better to grow in a big city, not only because there are more people, but because you experience more people and different things that a small town probably doesn't have.
