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

I found the poem "The Opposites Game" to be very interesting and weird in the way it is structured. The poem is in Gioia page 17. What i understood from this poem is that a teacher is playing a game with her students, i began to understand the game she was playing with her student until the first page of the poem. The second page of the poem (page 18) had nothing to do with the first page. I felt like i was reading a poem within a poem. If anyone has any ideas of what the poem could be about please let me know in the comments.

In my opinion, the second part of the poem is about the heated argument over the opposite of the word "Gun". Eventually, the poet claimed the students down by saying they all could be right. There is no single answer but all possibilities.
