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.

Forgiveness and healing/justice?

Forgiveness strongly correlates with healing because subconsciously we need that acceptance and assurance to get over the situation that has occurred and without the forgiveness we can't continue in peace.  In the case with forgiveness and justice I think that those two don't go well together and you can't really have forgiveness with justice. In the case with Ronald Cotton he might have forgave Jennifer for the misunderstanding but in no way will Ronald Cotton get his life back. In justice there is a right and wrong. There is no forgiveness in the judicial courts. You don't get a second chance so when you mess up its permanent and there should be no forgiveness. For the most part the justice system is bias. Those they oppose could and will be convicted or wrongfully accused. Justice is like a coin there is only two choices, heads or tails.
