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.

End of Carpenters Gothic.

How do you think Liz dies? ; page 252-253

Liz is on the phone at the end of this book and she had a conversation that stirred up a certain feeling in her. Even though it was said that she died as a result of a "murder" I can only believe that, that isn't true. Liz had a lot going on and could've possibly died from natural causes? Liz always came off different to me as in she was always nervous and worried and she probably wasn't taking care of herself which resulted in her passing. 

The last line; page 262
The ending line is Paul speaking to Edie who was the person who was on the phone with Liz earlier in the chapter. I believe the last line has no punctuation because if the story continued Paul and Edie's story would have continued just like Liz and Mccandless story. Gaddis kind of left the reader thinking what would happen next if he would have continued with this theory of Paul and Edie.
