Going On A Hurston Hunt

Walker and her friend she talks to over email are great followers of Zora Hurston, and admire her and her work. They soon decide together that they will meet up at and find more facts about their favorite writer. Walker and Charlotte both meet up at the airport and start their quest in finding more about Hurston. On their quest, they begin by questioning Hurston's niece. Following that clue they start to gather up information from Mrs. Moseley that knew Zora and learn where she was buried at, and decide to buy a tombstone for Hurston's grave. They then meet up with Dr. Benton, who was close friends with Zora, just to find more things about Zora like her real cause of death, that she was fat, and her relationships with her neighbors.
Walker comes across the problem of getting people to tell her about Zora Hurston. So she came p with idea to pose as Hurston's niece. The fact that know one really knew Hurston's real niece, was the only reason why she could pull off being Hurston's niece. But as time goes on Walker begins to find her own roots. In the end she ends up thinking that she is one of Hurston's family members, so this experience opened up Walker's eyes to Hurston and her writings, but it also showed Walker more about herself, where she came from, and personally opened her eyes to who she is.

Feelin' Blue

I never knew what love is?
I always wondered what it was,
I once knew what it was,
I once felt what it was,
But I don't know what happened.

He said he'll give me everything,
He'll always be there for me,
He'll protect me,
He'll love me,
But that's what men always say.

My first mistreated me,
he made me do things
that a man is suppose to do.
My second treated me right,
loved me, then changed.

Why do I even try anymore?
No one likes me,
How I do things,
How I work.

Now look at me
I'm beaten down,
muted.
Will I ever find, what love truly is?

The Time of Question and Answers

Growing up we often ask a whole lot of questions asking why or what, but we never give answers. Every year can be different. But for Jaine this upcoming year will be the time for both questions and the time for answers. Janie gets married to Joe, her second husband, and she still doesn't know how to act like a wife, even though she was married before to Logan, whom she left, because she was treated like a slave or how Nanny says a "mule". With Logan she learned very little and didn't love him, but with her new husband Joe, she thinks that she is in love. But what she doesn't know if Joe will treat her the right way, because she married him too fast. If Joe ends up treating her bad that will answer her question about getting married so fast, and that she made the right decision, and also making the question is what she did the best thing for her.
