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
I don't understand why the group critiques Swenson holds is such a big deal. Swenson acts as if Angela might just kill herself or stop writing all together if her work was to be critiqued at least once. It's weird. Swenson has this protective feeling towards Angela. He wants to shield her from the realities of the world, or in this case, the class. That would almost be kind of admirable if he didn't sleep with her. Something that threw me off a bit was when Swenson said that Angela's work was better than anything that was critiqued that semester. I understand He "loves" her but at that point, he's just begging for people to prod and figure out why he really favors Angela so much.

Good response, William. I wonder what he's "protecting" Angela from by shielding her from the other students. She wants to be a published writer, correct? It's a very strange move, one which leads to his downfall.
