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.

Story and film

I mentioned that I liked the last class. But I also liked the class before the last one. When I was following up through the story while it was being read I didn't quite get the whole story. I felt like it was cut into sections like chapters. I don't know if I heard wrong or if that's how it was kind of written. But when I heard so many I injuries going on including the graveyard and the baby rabbits that were killed and just the language of the characters made me sound that the story was trying to give a dark perspective. Their conversations sounded irregular and I asked myself where was the author going with this. But when I saw the film and everything was played out, I had exactly no idea that all of that was being described in the story. Yes the words were being said exactly like the one in the text but the characters were humorous and not gothic like, like the one in the story.

  1. Hi Jenni,
    I had trouble with the story also.
    It all made sense when we watched the film.
