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.

"The Blody Chamber"

I started to read the tale and I noticed that Carter do not signals when there is a dialog but  the style is original and not too hard to follow. After a few pages I started to smile. Not because of the unfortunate story of the seventeen year  old girl but because I remember that my mother read this story to me when I was a little girl like 6. However it was "La barbe Bleue" version of Charles Perrault published in 1697. There are few differences with Carter's one but it is quasi the same story! It has been rewrite many times before Carter does her own adaptation of it. These tales always have something to say.
