Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 102 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.

Wimbledon

This flash fiction was a bit dark because we find out that the guys girlfriend is a drug addict and that the guy himself was a drug addict but is trying to stay clean. We also come to find out that they both fight a lot about drugs. Furthermore, the fights get physical with the girlfriend hitting the guy, and with each fight she gets more violent. The funny part is that they fight about how the girlfriend takes her boyfriends drugs which has me confused. If the boyfriend is trying to stay clean then why does he have drugs. Normally when someone tries to stop using drugs they stay far away from it but this guy is doing the exact opposite. It makes me wonder whether he actually cares about staying clean and the answer is no because he ends up using at the end.
