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.

Jack, July
This story really hit it home with the first person narrition. The way the writer wrote was so scatter brained it made me feel dizzy during some parts. By the end of the story I felt like I was suffering from meth withdrawal. Jack basically takes no blame for any thing he does or what his addiction has done to his family. To me the sun plays the biggest part through out jacks journey. The sun is introduced with fangs and makes me feel as if they've locked there jaws in to jack and won't let him go. I think the sun is a representation of Jacks guilt he has, burning into him, weight on his entire body from beginning to end. During the parts of the story I can tell that he's a good person but the White Castle has got him. He really disappoints me when he is talking about his sister and how he behaves toward her. He if goes as far as to justify is wrong going and sell the good parts of doing Meath. All in all this story was very well written and caused goosebumps to feel what it's like in a addicts head.
