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.

Also, since we'll be writing an argumentative essay for our last assignment, I'd like you to say if any of these articles are making an argument. Which one(s)?

For your convenience, here are the three articles:
