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.

PLAYS
I have never been one for plays. Part of the is my laziness. I hate having to cast the play before I read it just so I am able to understand it. In all the reading I have done recreational and assigned I have only eve liked plays by Arthur Miller. Something about how depressing his plays are excites and intrigues me. I appreciated Neighborhood 3 Requisition of Doom. The concept was great I just wish it dabbled more in the line between reality and the game. I would have liked to see more dysfunction and chaos. Unfortunately when it was time to end it really did end. Usually that is supposed to be a good thing where you are left wanting more but here I really wanted more of the story. More of the dysfunction. It was reminiscent of all those shows where suburbia has all those secrets. It was a quick read and I wasn't as invested as I should have been.

I agree. I wish it didn't end and it could of went on. I would of liked to see more and see what else could of led further with this play. It was defintely an interesting one.
