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 spring breeze

It was quite a strategic move to place this reading during spring.  It was easier to connect with the story as spring is in session for us as well.  This story felt very confusing to me time wise.  I am not sure what is really happening.  Are they doing the things that are happening? I mean, how many times are they going to eat and drink?  I felt like I knew what the girl wanted.  She wanted something adventurous and new.  Break away from the everyday mold and do something new, just as that new spring breeze is coming through.  It was also quite stereotypical of men and women.  Women being that they do not share what they feel and want something they do not know.  Then men are portrayed as oblivious to the women's thoughts and feelings. Overall i though the story was ok, I was just confused as to what really happens.
