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"

In This passage at page 140 to 142, We learn that Ms. Jimmy died and there is her funerals. Many people gathered. They seemed never around but came just for that day by tradition. Cholly didn't know his cousins then or must people coming around.

I found interesting the way the author construct Cholly's personality. Cholly don't realize or don't care about what is happening. The funerals of the women who bring him up don't overwhelm him. he is rather curious about what is around him and getting to know his cousins.
That is where I was shocked reading what happened next. the funerals turned to be a transition to an horrible story between two teenagers Cholly and Darleen  in a moment where things that they don't have power over was happening.
