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.

Blindness
I've taken some time to start reading the new book that we are supposed to read for the next class. The name of the book is Blindness by Jose Saramago, before getting into it we were told that it would be the same kind of outlook as the Netflix movie BirdBox. The book starts off with a man randomly going blind during rush hour. Another man helps the blinded man and drives him home and then starts to steal to blind's man car. Then the man who stole the car also went blind as well. Then afterward tons of people started to go blind as well. From what I've read so far it was hard to distinguish the meaning of it yet.

Hi Afolabi: I don't want you to mistake what we were talking about in class: This novel has nothing in relation to Bird Box other than that both are post-apocalyptic stories.
