In American Literature our class has been reading a novel named "Their Eyes Were Watching God". This book has been very interesting since it has looked upon many themes such as gender and time. Gender has been significantly looked upon in the novel because we have seen many men and women characters who have made interesting decisions. So far this book has surprised me because the decisions the character Janie has made have affected her life significantly. This book was created due to the differences between African and White Americans, according to the time it was created. The author Zora Hurston emphasizes the difference between African and White Americans because it shows the life of an African American. I believe that reading this novel will give many people insight of the differences between cultures then and now. Overall, I thought this book so far was a great find because it has great metaphors and analogies along the way. The idea portrayed in the novel does have many controversies, but it is a great find. Even though I have not read much of the novel, I have read enough to know that this will novel will be a really great one!
