Monday we start reading Their Eyes Were Watching God by the famous author Zora Neale Hurston. The book reads fast...but it is DEEP and very allegorical - it is also sad. The language at first can be hard to get into, but give it a second. It'll grow on you.
I have broken the class down into groups (which are as follows):
Chapter 1: Drew, Levi, Jennifer S., Tyler Annie
Chapter 2: Chris, Rachelle, Kyle, Taylor, Eric, Jennifer B
Chapter 3: Josh, Kimber, Garrett, Hannah, Lane
You need to read all three chapters, but for the chapter you are assigned you need to do the following:
Pick 2 moments in your assigned chapter that stand out to you
Pick 2 words that seem odd or important
Bring character profiles (not too in-depth...but enough for dicussion) for each character you encounter in the first 3 chapters.
Be able to describe the characters, discuss their place in the story, talk about their importance.
I think that this book is beautifully written, there is some very delicate prose.
As such, I would like you to choose one sentence that you find particularly meaningful or beautiful.
