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.

In additions, he gave different pronunciations of Kentucky and the meaning behind it, such as, in first sentence, he stated "As schoolchildren we were taught that the word Kaintuckee came from Ka-ten-ta-teh, which meant, in Cheroke, 'the dark and bloody ground'."
