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.

Prince Edward Chpt 8-13
The stories show the appreciation for education. Its very clear that Leonard loved his children and wanted the best for them. While he created the cover up house its clearly shown the measures taken to get a education. Its quite sad to see the extremes these children go through to get something we often take for granted. Refurbishing a home and leaving your children there is no easy front. Neither is sending your children to a school far away for there betterment. The segregation is painfully colorful when they depict the bus spitting. To imagine walking down the street, minding your business and someone opens a bus window to spit at you is incomprehensible to me. I find the actual writing to do an injustice to the stories provided and to the topic as a whole itself. The struggles people face and go through is so evidently painful yet seem so bland and grey in text. This chapter was the highlight of the whole reading, once you take the story and read between the lines.
