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.

                                                                 what is postmodernism 
Although postmodernism was a period in the late 20th century, it can also represent an idea. My idea of postmodernism is the conception and growth of thoughts, concepts and innovation that comes after a period of modernism. Life around us can get stale when society reaches a point where they start defining rigid rules and guidelines on how to do something, how to build, draw and work. Our society stops to innovate and progress, without the unique and innovative ideas. Postmodernism can be these abstract thoughts that break the walls and create abstract matters or conditions in various forms of our everyday society. There have been several work of art that have defied conventional ideas in architecture, art, music, television, science and technology, etc. Movies are presented with unique plots,  while internet and social media have revolutionized the way that we connect to others and advanced technological devices have changed the way we communicate among ourselves. Mankind has always progressed with unique ideas and therefore postmodernism is inevitable because our society is always dynamic and developing.
