    perplexing. Her silence is strange and worrisome to the people who care for her. To a reader‚ one may compare a female character’s silence to a loud noise. It calls for questions to be raised. No one questions why someone is loud; it is only when one becomes silent that people are concerned. In the translated Romance “Silence” by Sarah Roche-Mahdi and the novel “Their Eyes were watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston‚ the struggle that the main characters deal with is shown throughout their silence.

    “He spoke of only what he had seen. But people not only refused to believe his tales‚ they refused to listen”(Wiesel‚ 7). The first time that the idea of silence is ever seen in the book is one of the scenes in the very beginning; where Moishe the Beadle arrives back in Sighet to tell the people of the horrors he had seen in the forest‚ but to no avail.

Both Moores lived in Baltimore‚ in neighborhoods with lower
