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.

[25] Starting Oranges are Not the Only Fruit

The reason why I think the chapters are named after the Christian Old Testament, is because it could be that in each novel, the main character, Jennette, could be going through through what the meaning of the word is. For example, the first chapter genesis, we learn that this word is like the origin, the beginning. In the first chapter, we are learning about Jennete's beginning, and who she is. I think for each of the chapters, it will have something to do with the meaning of the word, and it effects the main character.

The humor in the novel i see is, when Jennette says "Its funny what people find for excitement," I think the reason for this she said that was because shes only seven, so shes just  kid like what excitement.

Jeanette's mother seems like a overly religious type of person, and she is trying to push Jeanette into being like her. I find it weird how she quizzes Jeanette on Sunday's about the religion. Like if she doesn't get it right, does that mean shes not fully religious? Because the way I see it, even if someone prays for five mins or five hours, it still prayers, and still being religious, there isn't really a limit to it.
