On
Thursday and part of Friday, you watched a documentary about two women
who live in Damariscotta, Maine. It,
like the play we’re going to read, was called Our Town.
Please think about as many of these prompts as possible while writing for this one:
1.
How
is the town of Damariscotta “characterized”?
2.
How
is Walmart characterized?
3.
You’ve
probably never been to Damariscotta (If you ever want, the mussels – seafood –
from the river are amazing), but it’s not all that different from Bedford in a
lot of ways. What would feel about
Walmart opening up a super center in town?
4.
Regardless
of how you feel, how do you think the town would change as a result of its
coming in?
5.
If
asked to sign either a “for” or an “against” Walmart coming to town petition,
which would you choose and why?
