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.

Angela Carter
Angela Carter has a very interesting way of interpreting original stories. Most of her stories make you feel uncomfortable and confused but in a good way if that makes sense. In her book the Bloody Chamber she interprets mostly stories that have a moral to them. Even some of the characters in her book have prior knowledge to these original stories but they still end up messing up. For example, in the first story "The Bloody Chamber" the main character mentions that she knows the story of bluebeard but still falls for the same trap.
