Hip Hop Culture Hip Hop Music

It also enables me to return to, what I consider to be, one of the m...

Male Female Relationship Eyes Were Watching God
2,440 wordsI enjoyed Their Eyes Were Watching Gods grasp on imagination, imagery and phrasing. Janie's dialogue and vernacular managed to carry me along, slipping pieces of wisdom to me in such a manner that I hardly realize they are ingesting something deep and true. Their Eyes Were Watching God recognizes that there are problems to the human condition, such as the need to possess, the fear of the unknown and resulting stagnation. The book does not leave us with the hopelessness of Fitzgerald or Hemingway...
