Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 102 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, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

Blue Angel
After watching the movie I realized that in the book it was mentioned that Swenson went to see the same movie (we saw in class), in the summer. He also named his novel Blue Angel. It is very ironic that this part is mentioned in the book. Like the Clown in the movie foreshadowed the Professor's future, the same way the movie itself foreshadows Swenson's developing relationship with Angela Argo. He's already sort of admitted to himself he is developing a crush on her and he's imagining an inappropriate move on her from what I am reading so far. Swenson's desire and temptations are growing stronger for Angela and it obviously doesn't seem like this will end well.

The book made it seem extremely ironic with Swenson's life and i loved it. A type of foreshadowing, it showed a fall from grace similar to that of the professor from Blue Angel in a similar way.
