Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 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.

My beloved World
The deeper I get into this book, the more I like it and it gets hard to not read ahead. I find it so interesting knowing the mothers story and the hardships she went through growing up. The fact that Sonia shed some light on her parents earlier life and marriage before all the drinking, let me know it wasn't always bad. The passing of her father was bitter sweet because she missed her father but there was a sense of relief at home because there were no more fights. I was amazed how she just paints a picture of the transformation from grieving and slowly moving on with their lives. Im so amazed by her way of thinking at such a young age but i think it just came with all her experiences that cause her to mature fast. Reading the book has been very humbling so far because this girl went through so much at such a young age, what she went through in the first eleven chapters would break most people.
