Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 252 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.

FEAR/And Then There Were None
The cinematic key hole scene is very interesting. It's interesting in a speculative way as it is on a complex level. Someone starts off the scene sneaking a peak through a key hole at the person he's conversing with. While this is happening someone is watching the person being impartial ruining the person he's conversing with privacy. There's also someone else watching the third person, and as the person in the room seemingly unaware of being watched leaves his room and follows the path of what he can tell is of another; the one watching him follows and they all act according to the one they have had their eyes on up until the point when the last one who loses his tag along questions them all. It's a feeling that I would describe as humorous and slightly irritating. The likeliness of that happening often I imagine being dim. The secrecy having hoped to be kept or the awareness of surrounding being faulted while snooping leading up to the breaking point(moment when being caught) in its wholesome is appreciated for its sequence of events, timing, cuts, subjectiveness, objectiveness, as well as its arkward humour. The arkward humor has been tapped from watching what I now know to be absurdism. I youtubed, 'theatre of the absurd' and found a cool, interesting video where a Professor taking on the form of another gives his explaining of absurdism to a student who's also in the form of another. The Professor uses his own knowledge to explain absurdism and afterwards the student gives her input in a slightly oblique way. She inquisitively tells him to get to the base of what absurdism is by asking a question subsequently given an answer. The Professor speaks on what may be the transcending factors that come with the term in length. The student when mentioning facts about absurdism tells about its sense of apparent paranoia, loose language, and institutions of fear, and what not said. After viewing the youtube video I associate the arkward, irritating fear to be what both the Professor and the student describe absurdism to be. The Professor somewhat says the disconnection to some parts of life leads to joy that is brought about through it's loose, chaotic, and wild diversity. This scene reminds me of tone of arsenic and old lace with all of its busyness and commotion. I'd like to know whether if experiencing absurdism rarely, matters when it comes to feeling irritated. I think it doesn't yet I wouldn't want to or need to know.
