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.

Long Tom Lookout

I read this story twice and the first time I wasn't grasping much of what was going on but the second time around I gradually understood and liked the story. I felt bad for Lauren in the beginning because I felt like Keller was perhaps cheating on her and she was so scorned because she excepted the fact he had an affair and fathered a child and now she had to find out he lied about being on a business trip and really was with another women. Then a little further in the story I wasn't sure as to whom side to be on because Keller tried to explain to Lauren that it wasn't what she thought and that was friends wife but why should she believe him and he already cheated on her? Lauren was wrong for taking kellers son though, I guess she did that because he had not paid much attention to the boy and I figured she decided to take care of him, but then I began to feel like Lauren used Jonah as bait, away to get Keller to come for her and then she pretty much lost him for good I feel because it seems as the baby boy dies at the end or was gone and they never found him or a body and it was all her fault.
