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.

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

I think that the chapters have the names of the first 8 books of the Old Testament because it helps explain how focused on religion her life was. Also how her mother sort of forces it on her. It was a bit humorous how Jeannette's mom did not want to go to school because she considered it a breeding ground. Some foreshadowing that i saw was when Jeannette insisted the her mother thought that oranges where the only fruit. I feel that the church community is weird and overbearing.

Why does Jeanette's mother despise sex so much?

Why is she so religious?

Why does she neglect Jeanette sometimes?

Can Elise be considered Jeanette's second mother?
