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.

The colossus of maroussi

"On one side are stones and shrubs which stand out with microscopic clarity; on the other are trees such as one sees in Japanese prints, trees flooded with light, intoxicated, coryphanic which much have been planted by the gods in moments of drunken exaltation". Although a lot of millers references and descriptions have left me kind of confused, I really enjoyed this one! The way he described the trees as something you see in Japanese prints really helped me pictured where he was and all he was seeing around him at that moment
