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.

Blue Angel
Blue Angel is a comical yet insteresting movie that shows the life of Emil Jannings who stars as professor Immanuel Rath a well known college professor who ends up losing everything due to a romance with a cabaret perfomer. The story begins when the professor finds out his students have been going to a local cabaret at night. In his quest to find them at the club and shame them he ends up falling in love with the lead performer in the cabaret Marlene Dietrich who stars as Lola Lola, causing him to resign his job as a teacher and marrying her. However, at first everything seemed to be going well until his jealousy overwhelmed him, as he never imagined how hard it would be to be married to a woman whos job was to make men desire her. Towards the end we come to realize that Lola Lola was just using the man as she ends up leaving him for a younger man causing the professor to return to the classroom where he used to teach and dying there.

Good response, Jordy, but can you explain how Lola "used" the prof?
