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.

Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies
Throughout the film they explain the history of cancer and how it comes about and the effects it has when mutated inside a humans body. They make it human history in the way that its been such a burden killing millions throughout our own history. It is as bad as our wars. Cancer isn't something that she be taken lightly or that we should ignore. Just the way of the film introducing cancer is like introducing how the human species came to be. They gave cancer a human essence. The idea of focusing on kids throughout the film gave the audience a more emotional rollercoaster. I would say rollercoaster because they showed both sides of cancer. The deadly and then the healing. Of course they would show the death because its also a harsh reality. To ever find a cure to cancer, I think it would be difficult and conspiracies saying that there is is a bunch of false accusations. If they have the cure for cancer than they must have a cure for every disease. If cancer is the biggest most hardest disease to fight then where is the cure for the rest?
