We chose to write about "Their Eyes Were Watching God." The story follows a middle aged woman named Janie Crawford who finds love. However her grandmother, a former slave, is struggling to accept their relationship and suggestes an older farmer instead. Janie is stuck with the older farmer but she doesn't actually love him and he actually is very discriminative. The farmer wants power over Janie and has specific ideas of the roles each of them should play in the relationship. The theme explored in this story is "mislove" and inequality.

Some characteristics of the Harlem Renaissance include celebrating African American culture. With literary works and art pieces that consisted of African American themes, they brought people a sense of pride. Along with that, they have been able to bring awareness to the struggles of the community. The Harlem Renaissance was a way for African Americans to fully express themselves and reject the stereotypes that have been projected on them.

Very nicely done! She certainly did break some norms, and at times was received harsh criticism from her own community.

Oh...this is such a wonderful story! It's a bildungsroman centered around the protagonist by the name of Janie.

Despite all her obstacles, she received quite a bit of education.
