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.

The passage has a Hollywood feel. Particularly with the way the conversation spans over time and space seamlessly. the passage is written in a way that emulates a montage in which a conversation is happening over a length of time. and then it comes to rest on them in the bedroom. This last paragraph is something I think is used regularly in Hollywood films. I'm sure that it is the influence of previous films but I do imagine Lindy laying on the bed like" label me like one of your french girls" hair splayed about somehow made to look innocent even though she is an active participant in this taboo relationship. and Quentin the manipulative talking complete and absolute nonsense with his hairy chest and false attractiveness using his ability to give her the option of leaving feel wrong and the response be affirmative than other wise. It is what I think of as a traditional set up of a grand scheme of emotional distress/abuse which causes the magnitude of the issues within a film.
