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.

Prologue Response
The prologue creates a atmosphere that embodies the setting that she speaks about. We have a old man who is on the brink of death and he still carries the mentality of segregation. There's a undertone of moral superiority, and although it is never right to be consumed by racism it isn't right to display yourself as a high moral leader. The high horse of liberty is very prevalent and almost distracts me from the narrative and interaction between the old man. The dialogue was brief and was what we would expect from a old southern racist man. The introduction to Elsie was the best part of the prologue since it displayed genuine interest and connection from the writer and the worker. Like stated the prologue essentially summarizes the first two chapters ahead.
