In the play, Our Town, there are numerous characters which have their own unique personalities and meet different fates. The character that stuck out to me was Joe Crowell, Jr. He is the town’s paperboy and is a star student. The stage manager then informs the audience of his death.

I believe I read on the Mail and Guardian how there was another Cecil Rhodes statue near a…
