Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start those conversations BEFORE we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Colossus of maroussi

When the author mentions "the angry & swollen sea. I feel like he was describing the emotions of the people who were left behind & his. I say this because he clearly stated the fact that it angered him that the people of wealth acted like the war was not their concern and they just up and left and left the people who were poor. So when he say the angry sea he is stating how he feels about the situation but when he says the swollen sea he can be describing how the people eyes were from crying.

    I liked how you described about his feelings and thought and you explained the metaphor. I have the same feelings too and I also feel by "angry sea" he means the weather and the wave of sea.
