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.

Hello, Is it me your looking for?
The protagonist is looking through old photographs of a musician that she used to follow around. She is reflecting on each photo and audio reel. The story chronicles her relationship to Kat's life, until the very end of it.
Expertly crafted, beautifully detailed, I didn't want this story to be fiction because of how well I can imagine each scenario. I really felt each scene was organic and vivid. The short story didn't follow a conventional story arc, which embodied the wretched life of a musician. This jagged jumping around made it feel human. We are constantly looking to different parts of our past for understanding, and maybe the protagonist is doing that to understand her life.
