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.

Short Days & Mister Lytle: An Essay
From the two readings this week, "Short Days" and "Mister Lytle: An Essay" were both very different. "Short Days" definitely caught my attention more because each little piece had meaning independently. With the separation of each piece my mind was able to break them up, rather than me trying to read it as a whole. I highlighted six pieces, but the one that caught my attention the most was, "It isn't that the genius makes it look easy; it's that he makes it look fast", because the more I thought about it, so many famous faces floated around in my head and those couple little words really make you stop and think. I love how engaging each piece was and in "Mister Lytle: Am Essay", I just wasn't finding something to keep me wanting to read more in depth.
