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

About My Aunt
At the end of About My Aunt This is a judgmental moment where the ego imposes the ideal of how people are supposed to live versus how they are actually living labels.  The Aunt is in many ways either (using labels) a free spirit or a woman of very low insecurity. 
If she is insecure it is displayed when she goes on vacation and stays there with a man because he shows her some attention.  She marries him and doesn’t express loving him in a way that justifies marrying him, nor he loving her either. 

If she is just simply a free spirit, that is represented by her being able to just happen to be on vacation and not being inhibited and enjoying herself whilst exploring a potential love.
