The purpose that the flashback serves in Act II of Our Town is to explain how George and Emily fell in love.
Before said flashback, <em>The Stage Manager</em> appears and says that before continuing with the story, we need to find out how George and Emily’s relationship began in the first place, and presents the situation where George and Emily first knew that they were meant for each other while having ice-cream at the local drugstore.

Lower-class African Americans have a different sense of
identity than upper-class African Americans because:
They live with fewer social restrictions.
They do not seek the kind of success that white people
seek.
They do not care about how their identities fit into
social standards.
In this excerpt from the play The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, the line that provides evidence that Faustus's human soul is predisposed to shun evil is the second one:
But, Mephistophilis, My blood congeals,
and I can write no more.
This line, as Marlowe uses blood as a symbol for the character of Faustus's soul, shows the reader his intention to avoid evil, but he feels he can't because it "<em>congeals</em>".
