I enjoyed reading Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston‚ though it isn’t something that I would normally choose to read. I found the second half of the book especially interesting‚ and as I read on‚ the dialect became less distracting from the story. At the end of the book‚ Pheobe envies Janie for the life she has led‚ even though it was filled with heartache.

if I were the Prime Minister of India‚ what would I do to make India a super power by 2020? “where the mind is without fear and the head is held high...Into that heaven of freedom‚ my father‚ let my country awake". Tagore and so many other leaders of our country envisioned an India far better than what we have made it today. Easy though it may be for us to blame it on the ’corrupt political leaders’ or the ‘useless government’‚ the truth lies in the fact that they are also one of us. we have

In 1860‚ the North was not the place to be if you were an African American. In 1860‚ there was a lot of “free blacks” in the Northern states‚ but were they actually free?‚ they couldn’t eat at restaurants‚ shop in markets or stores‚ or even have basic jobs.

The the novel "Their eyes are watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston. Janie was the main character. She was so simlar to Jane from "Jane Erye" by Charlotte Bronte. They both did what they believed that they should do no matter what it takes. They were both brought up in a society that emphasis on the idea of men are more superior women. They set a foil to that kind of society by not following that idea. The two novels are not the story of their quest for a partner but rather that of their quest

Zora Neale Hurston‚ a woman of moving‚ “anthropological and folkloric field work” had taken the underground literature world by storm with her 1937 work of “Their Eyes Were Watching God” ‚ a moving piece of magical work for the life of the oppressed woman. With references to her own life such as Eatonville and the multiple marriages‚ I began to see how though there are traits of a non- feminist novel it does have the correct tones of feminism. Being as though the novel was written in the 20th century

Arms I am seven years old again‚ twirling around in some frilly dress my mother picked out on a February night for the annual Girl Scouts Father-Daughter Dance. I dance in a circle with my closest friends to whoever the popular singer was at the time - probably Hilary Duff or Britney Spears. I act embarrassed of my father wanting to join in‚ but I know that when a slow song comes on‚ I will jump at the opportunity to show off my dad’s dance moves as I follow along‚ standing on his feet.
