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.

life lives on






          In the story Moving On, we end on the the note of hope and imagination. 
I'm sure that the narrator is nameless and the only thing we have to go on is that a person who had replaced her at the window bedroom has a name that is similar to her's.  In that case, the widow at the end is left with a husband that is okay with her transitioning into a women who "his wife" and leaving her old marriage in the past.  He buys her nice things and tells the waitress that she can order whatever she wants.  It seems like she is going to have a happy ending.  I also picked up that her new husband was wearing the same cologne as her last which means he must be around the same age.  No younger man wears old people musky cologne.
