"I’ve never seen a ghost and I don’t believe in them. I might see one tonight, but even then I wouldn’t believe in ghosts. I’d believe in that ghost."
This aphorism resonates with me deeply because I feel most strongly connected to it. I identify with the author's level of skepticism, one that is so grounded in reality that even a ghost sighting would not make me a convert but instead allow me to believe in the one ghost that I have experienced with my own eyes. This skepticism for me applies and sometimes hinders my life because I will seldom take anyones word and have to see of experience things for myself.
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 on a weekly basis in an informal forum.
