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.

About My Aunt


The opening seems to be setting the tone for the rest of the story. The opening and the ending seem to be closely related as well. In the opening the author seems to be discussing a relationship. However, it doesn't seem as if the relationship is going to be a permanent one. Towards the end, it seems as if the relationship is between the niece and a man. The beginning and the end seem to be discussing a relationship, in that way they both connect. The beginning is about a relationship not always being permanent, however towards the end Kiki is a relationship that doesn't seem to be working very well because she feels as if she has her "Own life to live." The relationship towards the end doesn't seem to be permanent either.
