Blue Angel - one of the last scenes.
In this scene of the book, it seems like Swenson's life is slowly but surely falling apart. His wife has decided to leave him and his daughter no longer wants to speak to him. Without his wife, he has to actually learn how to do things on his own and find activities to take up his time. He does not know how to cook at all so he resolves to microwave dinners but get tired of them. Drinking makes everything feel better to him, so he drinks every single day.He sees the movie blue angel and this peaks his interest but he's not quite ready to take it on.
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.
