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.

Todays class

Todays character analysis first off was very funny. But, I saw that it was very useful. It was a great way to tie up the end of the book. Since Morrison's story was hard to understand sometimes with the infinite changes of narrators, it was great to just get a refreshment of some of the main characters. Being able to see their reasons for their actions according to the story. Being able to "ask the characters" questions and get very good quality answers. For me, this activity helped me understand and clarify my confusion. I look forward to more activities like this especially with our new book challenge.

  1. I enjoyed this exercise too, the new book is hard to understand because of the writing.

  2. Me too I enjoyed this activity. Each one of us had our own interpretation or analysis of the characters but with our different idea we managed to built a common portrait for each one of them.
