Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 201 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 on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

This character seems to be confused . He doesn't seem able to be focused he keeps getting yelled at by his boss and others for not doing something correctly. The way I see it it was a retired soldier with issues and he tries to work an office job but couldn't handle it. He reference a lot of war dialogue into his now life like he couldn't separate his self from being a soildier. He obviously can't cook or microwave anything.

    Let's try to dig a bit deeper. Why is the character unfocused? What does it mean that the character can't use a microwave? Or is it that the character can't microwave dinners?

    The issue of gender is an important one I think. How do we know when a first person narrator is a man or woman? How do we know the gender of this narrator?
