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.

Ruby Bridges
When I see Norman Rockwell's painting "The Problem We All Live With" I see hatred and hope. A little black girl, just wanting education, getting attacked and violated, because the color of her skin. The U.S Marshalls in the picture provides protection for the little girl, but they can't protect her from the psychological pain she is suffering from. The hate won't last, but the hope does. Nigger plastered on the wall, with a KKK symbol and a splattered tomato, can't take away the beauty of that little black girl.
