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.

Ending the Class.


I would also like you to use these final entries to discuss your learning in the class. What books did you like best? Which did you like least and why? Next time I teach this class, which books should I drop from the reading list? Which should I keep? Do you know of other titles I should consider adding?


The book I enjoyed the most was “The Bluest Eye”. It was very easy to get into and follow because it was dramatic and simple to read. 
The book I didn’t like was “Carpenter’s Gothic”. I personally felt the book overall was a lot of fluff of information that bored me and strayed me away and I felt it hard to retain any knowledge. I would recommend taking this book out of your reading list but it’s so crucial to what describes postmodernism stories. If you’re going to keep this story, maybe take out one of the other books that take up a lot of the class meetings to discuss. 

I tried thinking of other books and couldn’t but my sister recently read a book called “One Second After” by William R. Forstchen. She claims it to be a very scary book but not in your typical horror you think; because its about life through apocalypses and after wars. She gave it a good rating and would definitely recommend it.
