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.

Cost of Living
The Cost of Living has no subculture. The ethos portrays the medical health care system in America and how hospitals are severely under budgeted and often in debt. The "subculture" is the medical industry in America and while that is a group its not necessarily a subculture. A subculture to my knowledge is a group that is formed from a bigger group and while there is a hint at a subculture in the sense of nurses and suicide survivors there isn't enough light shined on it to call this essay a piece on subcultures. Big pharma is portrayed as a villain by charging suicide attempts a six figure debt. The hero are nurses who do all the work in the hospital to help save lives for the benefit of humanity. An argument can be said to say there's a subculture in the medical field in which nurses are the work horses but like mentioned earlier there isn't enough light shined upon them to create a narrative of subculture. The main question I have is how does this essay give a look into a subculture that we don't know. And what subculture is it.
