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

"Why do fairy tales appear in this novel?"

 I'm not sure as to why, it could be an escape from everything going around the character. However, aren't some fairy tales not happy ones? I know in Albania there is this myth or folk tale they tell children in order to keep them in line with their faith. It is said that in order to keep the Shtriga (an ugly witch like woman) away is by having strong belief in God. It kind of reminds me of something the main character's mother would say to her in order to keep her in believing in God.
