Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 221 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 on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Kavitha and Mustafa
The settings were so well described that I could see them as if I were there. I could imagine her wedding day. Her day to day numbness going through a loveless marriage. Being on the train. Kavitha being so in the moment that you knew that she was right about the train about to be taken hostage.
The emotional roller coaster that this woman (Kavitha) was on was also so well described that I was there with her/them. Her feeling no love. The fears of the violations that were about to occur to them. The vulnerability that they all must have felt. Will they make it out alive? Will the women be raped?
Her ability to basically "map out" a complete plan for her escape. The way she and Mustafa (a kid with the maturity of an adult) were able to non-verbally communicate "telepathically" I think. LOL
I have to say that this was not the ending I expected. I can't believe that her plan worked!!!
On instinct alone Kavitha and Mustafa worked together. Without hesitation.
Shocking that she left her husband behind without even looking back.
She saved herself in more ways then one.
