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, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.

The Laramie Project (Adaptation)
The experience of watching the film as opposed to reading the text was very much different and quite impactful for me. The actors showed the true emotion, they felt and expressed true emotion.

To see the eyes redden and the tears stream down as the lip starts to quiver and the hand comes up to try and suppress the overwhelming sadness and emotion building in a person's voice as it starts to get too shaky and choked up is way more impactful then you, a person from the outside, reading it in text...

i tried comparing the movie to the book but i couldn't because i was engulfed by the story and emotion. i could find that in the book i found myself straying away from time to time but like i said in class the emotion poured from the screen and it was great to watch.
