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.

Genius Post on Angela Carter's "The Tiger's Bride"

http://genius.com/4278389
In the quote "Gambling is a sickness", I marked the quote as "missing something" and added an image and explanation to the quote and story:

"While the statement on gambling being a sickness is true, it would be best to also explain why the father would stake his daughter on a hand of cards. Even though the father believes in miracles, why would he ever risk the value and well-being of his daughter when he knows that gambling can likely lead to a dreadful life if not successful?"
