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.

Revenge of the Mouthbreathers
I find "Revenge of the Mouthbreathers" by June Thunderstorm to be a very compelling manifesto after reading it a couple of times. Although Thunderstorm has a very aggressive approach to this writing piece, I believe it's the most effective way to get readers to actually listen to what she is saying. At first I felt like she was a very rude person and didn't like the way she presented her argument. However, after we discussed the text more in class, I realized maybe her argument isn't just about her smoking cigarettes wherever she wants. I believe it's more about the different classes and how they are treated differently. She has a strong passion about what she's talking about and I've grown to respect that.
