Where is Zora?

     Alice Walker was on a full on quest to finding more about Zora Neale Hurston. She went to Hurstons hometown and got straight to business. Walker visited a bank where she indeed found Hurstons real niece. She was getting closer and closer. Walker went to the cemetery and risked her life, and getting in trouble to find Hurstons grave site. Walker contacted some of Hurstons "friends" and got a lot of information that she didn't think she would receive. Like the fact that Hurston liked to eat, and she was a fat woman? Yeah, Walker found everything she was looking for. Walker takes so much pride into what Zora Neale Hurston wrote, and it makes her upset that no one really knows who she is. She feels they share a common bound, them being the same ethnicity.

Clueless Janie

Janie thought she had all the aanswers. 
The pear tree is where she would go,
to think about the things she didn't know.


Married a man to please her Nanny,
she didn't know she was so unsavvy.
She finally realizes her grandma was so wrong,
she has to get out once and for all.

"why am i so happy" she said.
she finally found the answer to her doubts.
Joe Sparks comes walking in,
"ill make your life better" he said.
Little did she know it was just another trap.

Running off without a care in the world.
"I'll have everything i want, she thinks.
this is what love feels like, i know it.
this is my new beggining."


Or is it.

The Upcoming Year

Blog: "There are years that ask questions and years that answer."  Write a speculative response on what the upocoming year will hold for Janie.  Will this eyar be the year that asks questions or one that answers them?  Will this be the year that does both?  Respond to at least three peers.



     In chapter three, Janie explains to Nanny how unhappy. She tries so hard to love her husband Logan but she can't. Nanny doesnt understand how though. Logan begins to open up to Janie and she see's the real him. Joe, a random man that starts talking to Janie, see's her  working and he immediately tells her that she should'nt be doing work like that , her husband should.
      Joe Tells her he can give her the life she wants, and give her everything she needs. Janie is confused about it, but finally gets fed up with Logan, leaves him and marries Joe the same day. 
      The upcoming year will have both answers and questions. Answering the reason why she she was so unhappy with Logan, and asking if Joe is actually good for her.
