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.

One thing that I noticed was the way that the professor in the movie is treated with respect. This intensifies the magnitude of the professors desicion when he chooses to marry Lola because he loses the respect of his colleagues and his neighborhood. When the professor goes to the show to catch his students he is still given respect because of the title he holds, a professor at the local college. However, after he marries Lola he is made fun of and disrespected. The amount of pressure he receives for his marriage is soo much that he lost his job. If he was a professor in modern day New York he’d still have his job.

Interesting point, Sarvinder. What does this say about modern-day NYC? What does it say about Berlin in the 1920s? What does it say about gender roles in either time? Class?
