Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 252 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.

Chapters 13 - 18
Two femme fatales. Carmen is more of a young, docile, gullible, playfull girl who finds herself in situations she can't handle. Carmen either can't handle certain situations, shouldn't be in certain situations, or both. By can't handle I mean she often needs assistance with making sure the right thing happens or the most appropriate thing happens. From the part when she used a gun, it's clear to see that she does have control at times, the question is, is she able to be consistent and grow up. Vivian is smart, seductive, and she knows what to do to get what she wants. She will go to certain extents with getting back a people regardless of relation. This is shown with the entire icebox incident. It fits her character as a smart ruthless woman.

Is Carmen really so gullible though? Does she not know where these situations may end up, and still choose to proceed in the decisions that she makes? I think she's a very insecure woman and does anything to make herself feel better getting her self in situations she know can be of big trouble and yet choosing to do so anyway. SHe also knows that she usually has other men that she manipulates tht can get her out of a situation, or her father. This is just my opinion.
