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.

Finishing up the blog

Overall, my favorite novels from class had to be Phillip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" because of it's appeal and possible foreshadowing of what our very own future may be like in many years to come with progression of technology. "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka was easily another favorite because of it's strange and eerie depiction of what someone's life can be like if they were to feel lost, hopeless, and incapable of changing anything for the better which likely could be hinting at the kind of life Kafka lived. Other novels such as "Carpenter's Gothic" and "The Bluest Eye" were a bit more difficult to read since the dialogue of these novels were a bit more difficult to follow and you would constantly have to look back to really understand what it was you read or you could be lost along the way. But in all, each novel presented different aspects of literature that I'll never forget and have opened my mind up to more books and their own unique elements such as post-modernism.
