G) We hear this hymn in every act of Our Town. How might the circumstances of its being sung affect the listerner's interpretation? The Hynm is appropriate just because it is interpretive, like the Stage Manager, the Hymn is contemplative in its pathos and hope, its dual nature of pessimism and optimism, and its ability to celebrate life as well as comment on a clear path or dogma.
H) What was the future that George had planned? George Gibbs is pragmatic, honorable, and a stereotypical all-American man. In his own mind he has a very logical plan which goes awry when he allows his feelings from Emily to evolve. His inability to deal with Emily's death suggests that George, and others, do not appreciate life while living, and George becomes rather pitiable -- but understandable, in that the future is not constant, and decisions planned are not necessarily decisions made.
I) Would Emily want George to continue his life? Are there lines in the poem that indicate its writer also speaks of continuing with daily life? Emily comments, "Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it -- every, every minute." She loves George, and despite her death, she is actually the voice of the theme of living....
Culture and technology change, but the essence of human existence does not. This is why readers can appreciate and be moved by texts from historical periods, why music composed hundreds of years ago still has meaning, and why the Hymn can be so appropriate -- almost out of time, for the citizens in "Our Town."

Initially, the world and society featured various practices that today we may perceive as being barbaric and outdated. However, it is essential to acknowledge that it is through the various ages of revolution that the
Exegesis To understand 2 Corinthians as a letter, one must first understand the context in which it was written. This was Paul's second letter to the Christian church at Corinth. His first letter had been less than kind, admonishing the Corinthian church for what Paul saw as many deficiencies in their manner of living and worship. As might be expected, the original letter was not exactly welcome by the Corinthians, and
As Spong has closed his career as a formal minister, retiring from the bishop position in 2000 have has become even more controversial than ever before: Spong believes in a transcending reality at "the very heart of life" that presses toward life and wholeness. He describes God as the "Ground of Being" and "universal presence" that undergirds all life and is present in all that is. He regards heaven as
