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.

The Breeze
When I first read this story, it was a bit confusing. So when I read it a second time around I gained a better understanding of it. I must agree with Tysean when he mentions the chronological time line that is presented throughout the story, it is confusing in the beginning, but like he said the space breaks are very helpful. I say this because throughout the story the couple goes back and forth between two situations. One situation is when they were trying to figure out what they wanted to do in NYC, and the other was when they were looking for a place to eat. The one thing that remained constant in the story was where the couple ate. For example: When they were roaming around NYC and going back and forth as to whether or not they would have the picnic in Central Park they got their food from their " neighborhood deli"; Whereas when they were bickering about which restaraunt they wanted to eat at it always seemed that they ended up in either an expensive Italian resturant or a cheap one.

This story had me so confused. It was definitely all over the place. Had me so mad at times because I found myself saying to myself, find something to do and eat already. Very indecisive couple in my eyes. The woman seemed to be all over the place with her thoughts but had no desire to share them with a man she wants to marry, that's strange to me.
