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 Bosnia List Kenan ' s mother

Kenan and his dad went go red cross to get food for his mother to cook. The serb soldiers already seized control of the donated supplies and made him and his father stand in a separate line. When they were finally able to get food the notice the soldiers gave them old spoiled food. Kenan and his father began to express their anger. Kenan stated "I want all the serbs to die". His mother yelled at him saying don't wish that on nobody she didn't raise him that way. I notice that his mother is a kind women who sees the good in everyone. Even though they are treating her people the way they are she is still teaching her son the its not nice to wish anything like that on anybody. She always mention god alot because she has faith that he will save them. Even though everyone else lost faith in god. This shows how independent she is because she is caring hope for her family in a way. By not showing anger and rage towards the situation.

  1. I agree with you, Kenan's mother is an inspirational figure in the book. Since she is not acting the same as the ones that are treating them unfairly, she is the one that does not let the situation change her, while others became furious and want revenge.
