Their Eyes Were Watching God


Ther Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston, is an emotional novel about an African American women's life. Her name is Janie Crawford, and as she takes us through her life story, she will take us from her early childhood problems to her love and her heartbreak. She is born into many problems from the start, and she will go through many more throughout her life. The novel demonstrates the role of black women at the time it takes place. Zora Neale Hurston was an African American author during the Harlem Renaissance. In her novel, she truly portrayed how black culture was at the time, and was later criticized for it. Despite this, it is a heart-touching story about the ups and downs of life, and I hope you will read it along with me!
