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.

FUTURE...

     For high school teens like us our future is full of big dreams. For boys college life is written all over their mind! Some not having a girlfriend is best for them, they have their career planned out and all. Most of the time they know exactly what they will do and where they want to work. They know exactly what they have to do to get there. Unfortunately most but not all guys think about their future as getting married to the dream girl of their dreams, and have their life planned out and all. Maybe its the right thing to do, but thats how guys sound about the dreams in their future.
     As for girls it depends what your heart wants. We can easily get influenced by our family to go.for something we dont want. We probably think of our dream life doing what we love with the people we love. Our familyband career are always in the back of our mind as well as guys. Dreams are big and life full of them. Enjoy while you're young and have plans to archive. As we grow up how our future will turn out is always a dream behind our mind.

Questions without Answers...

1. Why is Daisy STILL married to Tom?
2. By Nick being so reserved, does he win anything?
3. Did Tom have a really good reason for hitting Mrs. Wilson...?

Violence in THIS Marrige...

The little dog was sitting on the table looking with blind eyes
through the smoke, and from time to time groaning faintly.
People disappeared, reappeared, made plans to go somewhere, and then lost each other,

searched for each other, found each other a few feet away.
Some time toward midnight Tom Buchanan and Mrs. Wilson stood face to face discussing, i
n impassioned voices, whether Mrs. Wilson had any right
to mention Daisy’s name.

“Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!”
shouted Mrs. Wilson. “I’ll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai ——”
Making a short deft movement, Tom Buchanan
broke her nose
with his open hand.

Then there were bloody towels upon the bath-room floor,
and women’s voices scolding,
and high over the confusion a long broken wail of pain.

(Fitzgerald page 42)

Money vs. Happiness

     Money can buy you all sorts of valuable things, but never true love. Love cannot be brought with money because in reality that is not a love that comes from the heart but instead from interest. One who looks into a person for their status in money wise isn't there because they love them but instead because they need the money, theres all sorts of things you can do to get money but you should never use someone for what they have economically.
     For instance money will not be there all the time. There will be times where you'll need to save money one way or another, maybe you get fired or the economy is just at its worst. Things will change and if you dont stick to your partner during the bad circumstances, you shouldn't be there at his best either. Once you die you don't take a single dollar with you in that grave. Yes you need it to get buried or to do whatever you want happening to your dead body...but that will not be your problem anymore. It will be your families and if they truly loved you when you where alive they'll want the best for you once you're far away. Love grows and never fades. It can only get stronger, even with those struggles... love has to overcome it.
     I personally would never marry for money. My love cannot be bought, and I will be the only one to choose who to marry. He has to have standards in his life and his bank account will be the last thing I'll worry about. Although he will  need to have his mind set for our future. Because being married will mean we become one and whatever we face we'll face it together. Money wont interfere as long as we have enough to make it happily ever after.
