Eyes Were Watching God Tea Cake
1,278 wordsI enjoyed Their Eyes Were Watching God's 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.

The book does not leave us with the hopelessness of Fitzgerald or Hemingwa...

Mind And Body Cease To Exist
753 wordsThe mind and body are said to be two different entities that have different characteristics. Many have argued that each holds its own properties and can be without the other. In my opinion, the mind and body are distinguishable in there properties but are derived from the other. The mind and body are codependent on each other and need the other in making decisions.
