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.

Liz&Paul

The way that Liz and Paul treat each other, the person they’re supposed to be in love with, portrays in a way how much value they put in their own self. Paul is frustrated that he has to rely on other people in order to reach the wealth he desires. like the chipped glass that he constantly uses even though he knows theres a chip. He’s so distracted he doesn’t notice until after he has filled the cup. He has this clear goldmine of a plan in his head, but he’s not quick to notice the flaws in them that make each one unsuccessful. Liz fights to have a voice in her marriage and pushes off self desire, things that make her happy. Repeating to Paul about the things he does that bother her, but in a suggestive tone more than stern. She's often helpful to others but cant help herself, shes between putting people before her and putting people above her.

    I totally agree with you, Liz and Paul's relationship is very complex and some what strange. I feel as if Liz has no self love, just puts all her energy on Paul when Paul gives her absolutely NOTHING. It is very frustrating. But, she lets him get away with it. Paul is a very annoying character in my opinion. He just cares about himself. I honestly don't think he cares about Liz at all.
