Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

Haywire Reaction
When finishing the essay Haywire, it left me wanting to read more especially because it ended with a cliff hanger. It left me wanting to know how the conversation went with the author and her father, also leaving me with some questions to be answered such as, what was the authors reaction to her father when he said "You knew about that? " at the end of the essay and why did the author wait until the last minute when her father was in such a bad condtion to ask him such a personal question?. Even throughout the essay I felt angry that the author didn't confront her father and ask him, what was going on but instead she isolated herself and was too scared to approach him with the many questions she had and because of that she lived most of her life confused of who her father really was. The essay was interesting but as I kept on reading it left me more with questions than answers. Thinking back I realized, it was what made the essay so interesting and it made the reader want to keep reading more. Overall this essay was a fun read, and it made me think a lot of how people could react differently to situations like in the essay.
