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.

motherlode



Thomas Mcguane creates a tone in my opinion of a slow panic at the beginning.  I guess he does that by not going into detail of how David must be feeling at certain moments like having the gun of Ray's on his stomach.  There wasnt much talk of fear, plans to escape, or people back home that will miss him if things were to go south.  The story intro seems to go pretty quick in the first few pages after starting off just at the speed limit, which mirrors the 2 hour car ride scene with David and Ray.
