January 3rd Their Eyes Were Watching God

1.Took Fake Test
Wishy- Washy about the test

Woman going through life searching for identity through failed and successful relationships with men and God.

She tells her friend Phoeby about her life story- frame.

20s/30s Harlem Rennissance:
      • South/racial 
      • Racial uplift 
      • Was rejected/ not received well
      • Wrote for 4-7 weeks in Haiti
God/Nature
  • Mrs. Turner- white features 
  • Hurricane- bad side of God
  • Harmony- pear tree/ awaking of her sexuality/ kissing Johnney 
Choice of Diction: Sophisticated narrorator/ vernacular

Protective/ Possessive love: Nanny
Materialistic: Trophy wife to Jody
Real Love? With Tea Cake?: Money? Cheating?

What can we gain from reading the actual book?
  • Skills from reading that you need in life later on
  • How it was written 
  • People that where making these analysis are opinionated and you do not know exactly what they know and what they are saying is true. 
  • Reading is not about the factual things it is about the deeper analysis.
  • Feelings 
  • How it is written
