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 conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

a Matter of Life and Death

A matter of life and death is honestly my favorite essay I have read thus far. I enjoyed reading it because of the meaning it had towards it. The message that I personally understood was that marriage allows you to escape the reality of your life. I got this message because through out the essay the author was saying how you can blame everything on your spouse since they absorb the "entirely of your existential bitterness for decades to come." (Page 4 second to last paragraph). It gives a new meaning and point of view to marriage.
