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.
As you read Blindness, I'd like you to make connections to
other post-apocalyptic films, TV shows, novels, comic books, myths,
video games etc. What is your favorite posts-apocalyptic story? Or, if
you've never seen one or never seen one you liked, why not? Why do you
thinks these stories have been with us for thousands of years? What do
they speak to? (Feel free to use the link/image/video buttons above to
link to internet images and/or video.)
Here's a clip from one of my favorite post-apocalyptic films, George Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978):
As
you continue to read the novel, what do you imagine will happen? What
have you been surprised by? What questions do you have?
