Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 204 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.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Empathy can mean many things.
But it seems as if in this story Empathy is the main theme.
I feel as if every character has a story behind empathy and it values them.
Rick has a love/hate relationship with his electric sheep. Rick seems to crave love and empathy and that is something that the sheep cant provide for him.
I believe that Rick learns that androids might be capable of empathy just as much as humans.
Empathy in this book seems to be a learning process for Rick, and that is something i have learned in the first 10 chapters.
