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.

Represents the seasons in the book and the seasons symbolize changes.
(Winter - time where things die and return; symbolizes Pecola's life changes.
Spring - flourishment, the overcoming of the winter; symbolizes Pecola getting pregnant by her father --> new life.
Summer - end of freedom regarding school/work; symbolizes Pecola's childness where she has her imaginary friend.
Autumn - change in the weather; symbolizes Pecola's baby dying and no fertile plants for Freida and Claudia = all sadness and death.)
