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.

The Scorpion
The title of this story has a meaning. As I read the story the message I got from it is that the scorpion the woman dreamt about was her wake up call. She was upset at her sons for not looking after her but then when her son came later on to take her with him she didn't want to go right away. She was alone in her cave and there was no life for her there. After she dreamt of the scorpion the sharpness of it going down her throats is what I believe woke her up, a sharp pinch for her to make a last minutes decision right away she was finally ready to go on with her son. At the end of the story on the way out she sees the old man and I believe he was the symbol of the scorpion.
