I think this book is awesome by Zora neale Hurston..I've seen the movie of this but is never as good as a book. about a girl named Janie whose life has been through an obstacle from her first marriage to her last. The language in this book is awesome, has a southern accent, and the storyline is exciting as well...though I really hate books I gotta say this one is good.
Anyone else read it? |

We read this book in English III and studied it as an Archaetype.
I like Zora Neale Hurston's short stories, but I really didn't like reading this. I mean, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't really interesting. I know it's supposed to be a feminist story and about a girl finding more of herself and trying to find love and life in marriages. But even when she thought she was in love with Tea Cake... she wasn't free. It wasn't until she shot him when she finally felt that she's found herself. I guess it frustrated me a lot. And I'm so completely sick of feminist stories. ... If you like Zora Neale Hurston, I'd suggest reading her short story "Sweat"... It has a really snazzy ending. |
