Intro to Creative Writing; Spring 2018
Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 220 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, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

The Stranger
What I've notice in the the couple of pages was that the confrontation between the Arabs and mersualt and Raymond had became intense
The End of The Stranger
I do believe that meursault had some kind of mental issues because no one in the their right frame of mind would be thinking of the things that he was right before being executed.it was almost as if he were welcoming it. On page 123 he said " I had only wished that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate" from what I understood of his expression was that he was nonchalant about his death. It is what it is
In The Stranger Meursault was on trial for the crime he was convicted of doing , he was anticipating what was going on, and what he thought might happen to him while he was on trial. His thoughts were that he was going to get executed, and also how people would react to him being executed. he felt that no one would really care much about it, and also that they would rather look at him with hate, and not show any feelings, or pity to him when it would happen. he is living in a cold sort of environment.

Hey guys!
I hope everyone is studying for finals and is feeling confident! I feel like I've been studying forever, I'm hoping all of this will pay off. Just remember to trust your gut, get enough sleep and eat before the exam! Nothing worse then a grumbling stomach when you're trying to fill in the scantron! I really enjoyed our discussions and material we went over in class, I hope you all enjoy the summer and time off and excel in your bright futures!
Thank you, Tori

Time go fast
Time is the only thing we can't get back. So the time we spend in class, went flying. Now we finished a semester and I didn't expect this quick transition. In the beginning, I wanted the semester to end fast but now I'm sad because I don't like endings. But this is part of life.

An Acrostic on Arrange Marriage
Arranged Marriage
(Acrostic)
A marriage of getting a man and woman to
acknowledge one another
Reality of two persons that don’t know
each other
Relationships that is expected to turned into
love
Accepting a complete stranger as their
spouse
Not giving the two people a freedom of
choice
Gruesome relationship to grow into love
Expecting the two to become one
Decision made by parents.
Maintaining a marriage that is being
forced upon two people
Anticipating angels would sing and dance
Requiring two strangers to live in peace
and harmony
Relationship
that is to be obliged by two people
Intent to last and prosper
An artificial marriage that has no love or
affection
Generated to work out
Eternity
of forced love.
