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.

God

Now this story, this story I enjoyed!  First of all I would like to add that the title completely threw me off.  I am an atheist and do not particularly enjoy religious themes when it comes to literature.  However clearly, God was just a symbol(thankg god).  The story was really unique in my opinion and although there was some foreshadowing with his fondness towards Nutella, I still could not foresee the timeline.  Clearly there is some irony that comes into play in this story.  The frat life was pretty on point. I am not that experienced in that field but I have seen some turnouts and it is pretty accurate.  It was ironic how the only guy to finally be able to satisfy God was a gay guy.  Ironic in many platitudes. First that it was a gay guy that satisfied the girl between all the other more manlier brothers.  And second, more religiously, that it was a GAY guy who pleased GOD.  Seeing how the bible does not condone gays. Really made me chuckle to be honest.  Great story!
