The Craft

When a writer reads i believe he does learn he doesn't learn what the reading is about but learns how the reading is composed. A writer reads in order to gain knowledge of how to construct his own writing. When a writer is reading he doesn't really pay attention to the lesson or the point of the story but just ways that will improve the way he puts words together.A person who isn't a writer reads but doesn't realize the writing lessons that are being given to them. A simple reader just reads the story and gets a beginning and an end to it and never appreciates the ways the story was written in order to make it so enjoyable. I think a writer will always read the construction of writing instead of the story.

Zora Neale Hurston's Search

Walker finds many clues about Zora which she didn't know about and was surprised about the findings. Sometimes she would ask herself why things happened to Zora in many ways.When she first finds old people that happen to have known Zora,they tell her about when she first got to the town and all that she did for it. They also tell her about how intelligent she was and how she liked flowers. Dr. Benson who gives Walker the real diagnose of her death tells her that she died of  heart stroke which amazes Walker with the fact that Zora was fat. Walker was astonished to hear that Zora had health problems because of the way she ate. When they find Her grave stone she concludes that Zora was forgotten about and that they didn't care much for her. The way her grave is surrounded by tall grass and unattended makes Walker think she didn't have a proper burial. The search of Zora made Walker realize that her culture has learned how to cope with grief by having laughter and merry thoughts of the people who have died. As she searched for Zora and gained more information with every clue she found , her awareness grew too by taking in every piece of new information she didn't know.

Questions? and Answers.

This upcoming year for Janie will bring her both questions ands answers. Even though she got married again she still has no clue of how to be a wife. She didn't learn much from Logan in her first marriage because he would spoil her most of the time. She has no idea what to do and what not to do. Janie thinks that she will have a better chance at love with her new husband but she doesn't know if he will ask more of her or treat her the right way. If he ends up treating her bad that will answer her question about getting married so fast and also making questions about why this would happen to her.

Journey of Self-Discovery

To go on a journey of self-discovery means to take a break, and alone identify who we are and recognize our abilities and weaknesses. Before we make the journey we make the decision that we need to figure out who we really are. This journey could also define what kind of personality we have. It will help us realize our abilities and help us know how we are going to apply them in our future. The really good part of making this journey is to discover our weaknesses and realize why we have them. We also have the opportunity to strengthen our weaknesses and also apply the to our every day life. To take a journey of self-discovery means to make a discovery of who we are and realize the ways we have to change in order to become someone better.

Atleast one person agrees :)

When people get married they expect their family to agree with their decision more than any other person. The person who they choose to get married with should be the one that treats them right and respects them and of course has a connection with and love. The person that is getting married might see all the good in their partner but their can be members of the family that don't want to see any of his attributes and will always find a downfall on things. This will make the family disagree in the decision of getting married and turn their back on the couple. Even though the family disagrees their is always that one person who actually takes the time to meet and share time with the partner and realize the good in him. At least that one person has the opportunity to meet the man or woman that will make your sister,brother,cousin,daughter, or son very happy. Having that one person agree with the decision is enough support to make the people start a new life and make a future together. If you're sure about sharing your life with that one person at the end it doesn't matter if most or only one person agrees with your marriage.
