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

Yet another semester has passed and this being my last English class has me appalled. I took your class for English 101 and loved it so much, I knew I had to take you again. English has always been my favorite subject throughout my years of school. I feel like, the professor makes it that much more enjoyable when they're passionate about what they do. The readings you chose for us, all held their own meaning and definition of Post-Modern literature and really allowed us as a class to understand the term. You definitely made wise choices in the novels you selected such as Jeanette Winterson's, Oranges are Not The Only Fruit and Angela Carter's Bloody Chamber. Those were probably my favorites overall. I feel like Winterson's novel was so appealing mainly because she spoke on a subject that individuals deal with in today's world. I enjoyed Carter's novel because it was interesting to see the twists and turns on the fairy tales we've heard of all our lives. And I cannot forget about the movie was viewed after the novel, Freeway. Such a great movie! I enjoyed your class this semester, and I'm sure I would even if I took another ENG class by you. Happy Holidays everyone!
