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.

A bus ticket and a world away
Betty jean and her parents, and her sibling used to gather around the dinner each night and used to talk about how their day went. They were living a happy life until the school closed.She and her family was sure about the schools wont re open in the fall. Their parents came up with a plan to send them to different direction because they want their children to get educated so they could take care of themselves.So, all of them got separated to different states to get the education that their parents want them to get. Betty jean made new friends at foster, but she was wondering that the education she was getting is good enough than one she would have received in prince Edward county.She asked her father the reason behind the closure of the schools he said the white parents don't want black kids to study in the same school. She asked him that is that because the color of her skin? she was trying to understand the reason hand her father responded yes and tell her that she is as good as anybody else and that is the reason he want her to get her education.
