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.

The Bluest Eye





  The Bluest Eye


My first question about the novel is what is the role of Claudia? Secondly, why were Claudia's parents so neglectful to her was she was growing up? Lastly, when Pecola decides to go to Soaphead Church, the “spiritual adviser” of the town, why didn't the man help her in positive way? Overall I found the story very interesting, and somewhat relative on the issue of racism.
