On a search for Zora Hurston

     Walker on his search for Zora's grave finds a series of different clues and finds out things about her from other people's prospective. People that she starts asking starts saying different stories about Zora. One says that her funeral was lonesome and that no one really bothered with it. But two others say that everyone cared and pitched in to bury her. They respected her and loved her and wanted a good funeral for her, but did not really. She got clues out of the way people treated her and were towards her in their opinion. Many of them did not know Zora themselves but would talk about what they would hear. Just like the towns people would in their tradition. They only talk about what they hear, and do not really know what really happened. She finds out a lot about her own culture and how they are through her journey. She builds up on what others tell her but in a respectful way, knowing that they are accurate and not rumors. She grows awareness of how the people are and compares them to characters in Their Eyes Were Watching God. 

A sad beginning with an even worst ending.

     A heart shattered of dreams unlived, a smile that makes you believe an untold story,
and a husband that does not make me feel like a woman.
    
     That is what I Janie be feelin like
since a little girl ma old nanny wanted to see me married.
But what she didn't see what dat, dat was her dream not mine.
I thought of marriage as something valuable, it was my dream,
but now it's all down a drain.

     Lovin was something bound not to happen in ma first marriage. I didnt love that man and never has.
Everything was ignorance in that relationship, the way he was jealous was unnecessary.

     So as I met the guy of my dreams I say "Oh Lord, Lord, Lord Amen!" But that wasn't for all ma life. Only showing his good side was what got me... but all that ended once men would just look at ma hair. Him telling me what to do and wut I was doing wrongs, got to my head. And as I pray for yet another day to pass livin in this misery.

Behold the future of Janie...

     As Janie got married with the man her nanny wanted her to marry, she thought that maybe she could learn to love him but did not happen. She went on not loving him and he soon began to loose interest in her and started treating her like any other woman telling her what to do but in a less male dominance way but with the same outcome. As once she saw herself with the man she loved she soon met the guy of her dreams. Right after the nanny died she found answers. She ended up running away with the man she met leaving her husband and remarrying. But she does not know that, that was a mistake for what will happen later on with him is worst.
