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.

Puss In Boots

In the original puss in boots, the Lord Marquis of Carabas was a man who had a cat named puss in boots and this guy basically didn't have anything. The way he got his fortune was by tricking the king and showing the king that he was a mighty ruler. The cat made a plan that the way to make his master and himself rich was by tricking the king in letting Marquis marry his daughter. He basically told Marquis to pretend to drown while the cat yelled oh the lord is drowning etc. and as the story goes on he runs around the town telling people that the things they are working on belongs to Lord Marquis of Carabas

In Carters version of Puss in Boots, the cats master falls in love with a woman who is married and basically puss tries any possible way to get them to get together. Puss realizes that the master has no more time for the cat and is so focused and in love with this woman and so tries to set them up. The plan works and the man sleeps with the woman and her husband eventually dies and the fortune is left to the wife who marries pusses master and the master and puss are rich
