Their Eyes Were Watching God is a sad, but meaningful novel. At first Janie's life does not look like it is going anywhere, when she is married to an older man and then an abusive husband. The reader can easily feel for Janie, since she is being pushed around by others. Janie is a young girl simply trying to find love, but later she eventually does. Through her first marriage she learns that "a marriage does not make love" and learns that love can not be forced. In Janie's second marriage she learns, what she wants in a man. She eventually finds love, which helps her realize that God is in control of her life. In this book Janie realizes that she cannot control her fate. This is a very meaningful realization that is huge in the book.

Grace, Good Job. I can tell you really liked the book! You did a good job with writing, what would you rate the book?
ReplyDeleteGrace, this is an ok reflection. You basically gave a summary of the book in your writing. You should have related yourself to the book, not other readers.
ReplyDeleteZora does have a way of writing that makes the readers feel like they are with Janie throughout the book, good blog post(:
