Repetition is used here a lot with the word ''sweat''. Delia is saying that she does all the work around the house while he goes off doing who knows what. A motif that constantly comes up is that it seems like men are in control of the women. Sykes beats her and she just takes it. Another motif is masculinity. Sykes tries to act rough and tough but Delia is showing to be the bigger man standing up to him.

In this passage, a personified river describes what we know as the civil war.

Hurston also uses no quotation marks just like McCarthy in no country for old men. Just like in no country for old men you can tell where the characters are from because they are given accents and that helps characterization. ]]> 2019-02-13 16:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330902954 Chloe Midyett https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330903263 "I would like just a little of her sunshine to soak into my soul. I would like that a lot."

A main focus of a lot of Zora Neale Hurstons work is blackness, especially in women, and this piece is no different; even if it is only mentioned when relevant, Isis's race plays an important role in the symbolism and revolutionary elements of this story. Many stories, even nowadays, have a reoccouring theme of light vs dark, good vs evi; and this motif on its own is not the problem. No, the issue can be found in the way brown skin is often associated with the dark side of things. This story is profound because, even during this time, the protaginist is associated with light. For lack of better word, she is the light.]]> 2019-02-13 16:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330903263 Dally Magho https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330906123 " No one was to sit with knees separated (setting brazen) a lady must never whistle  and a lady must never cross her legs".  

It is not astonishing that these are words coming out of an elderly woman. In many cultures with African descent, older people are seen as wise and the teachers of a nation. Although the advises they give may posses innocent intentions, they should not be fully trusted and practiced. The advises mostly represent an indigenous point of view which if taken into account slows adaptation to the rapidly changing world. Sitting postures are non verbal languages hence they carry significant meanings.  In some cases they are bias given that they apply to limited gender. A female is expected to be submissive towards the male but in some cases it goes into censoring one's self. For insistence, sitting with knees separated shows dominance and girls are reprimanded from such posture in public compared to a guy. ]]> 2019-02-13 16:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330906123 Colin Lyttle https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330908749 Zora is writing about how woman should conduct themselves,and seems to have a thing against woman.

nothin‘ on God’s green footstool" 

Hurston utilizes dialogue to foil Spunk and Joe. Spunk is fearless, while Joe is constantly anxious. Also, this line foreshadows the role reversal of Joe and Spunk in the end. Spunk becomes afraid of the person that was afraid of everything. ]]> 2019-02-13 16:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330909860 Sonny Frost https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/330910082 Zora Neal Hurston starts off her short story with a women, Missie May, taking a bath and using imagery to describe her and make the audience know that this is a romantic short story since the next scene is her and her husband roughhousing and cuddling.

I feel like the rattle snake that Syke brought home represents the couple's married.

A great terror took hold of her. It softened her knees and dried her mouth so that it was a full minute before she could cry out or move. Then she saw that it was the big bull whip her husband liked to carry when he drove."
Hurston uses language like "slithered" to foreshadow the use of a snake which ends up killing Sykes at the end of the book. This scene also shows the reader that Delia is scared of snakes and Sykes enjoys scaring and pranking her.]]> 2019-02-21 20:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/333881922 Joseph Belew https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/333892321 ¨What followed was to violent for words to tell,- strength against strength, steel against steel.

I would like that a lot."

This quote from the end of the story, as well as the story's title, seem to express light as both a physical force and a metaphorical one. Physically, one could say that a person with white skin is "drenched in light", referencing the actual color associated with light. Metaphorically, however, Huston uses light as a symbol for happiness and innocence, as seen in Isis. Even though her adopters are "drenched in light", they want to share in Isis's own childlike light.]]> 2019-02-22 16:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/334201355 christa pellham https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/334204052 " during the drive....a princess...the horizon....blue bottoms....charger...giants....tree...grandma....packard
Hurston uses the character of Isis to show a point of view of basically what every little girl would want, in Isis's words '' a princess.'' Isis talks about all the things that she dreams of doing and having, like pretty shoes. Isis wants to be free and enjoy life, but she also thinks very highly of herself. Hurston uses Isis to also reveal the character of the grandma through her pov, by saying that he grandma beats her too much.

One of the main motifs of this short story is darkness and light. Isis represent the light because of the many times that she is referred to as such. Isis is also a pure child and is innocent at heart even though she angers her grandmother a lot she only wants to play and fool around, something her grandma thinks is a waste of time. I believe that perhaps the lady who came to Isis's aid maybe couldn't have children and that's why she took such a liking to Isis and why she asked to spend more time with her. ]]> 2019-02-28 15:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/336464831 christa pellham https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/336465864 ''but there were some...red man....house....they die....metal....the end''

The river is saying that what ever is taken from the land comes back to the river. The river is talking about this man that everyone and everything fear. He takes what he wants and there is nobody to stop him or stand up to him. The river says they do not pay attention enough to know why the men want to take things. Maybe for wealth but it must come back to the river.

Joe's character is a complete opposite of Spunk's. While Joe is shy and non-confrontational, Spunk is direct and does what ever he wants. In the quote we see a broken man, ready to give up his life because he has nothing left to lose.

There is change and self doubt and question of self worth
All of this change is from Missie May. She thinks that Joe will think differently of her. Everything will be awkward now. Joe is mainly mad at Slemmons, he thinks that none of it was her fault. Joe wants things to go back to normal because he loves her but she is stuggling with her innner self. Missie thinks that she doesnt deserve Joe because he still loves her and she does not understand why]]> 2019-03-13 00:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/340666840 christa pellham https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/340685466 " there was a....fact....fight....stiff....nerve...nothin....ever had....lena...bob-cat...blue...once...wuz...den...time...hot..etcher "
This has foreshadow and fear from the other men
The men think that spunk is rough and tough, but then they say that Joe was the braver man because he had the guts to confront spunk. The blade slipping up on spunk foreshadows that it will probably happen again. Then when Spunk says joe has come back for his revenge the men think he's lost it.

You know it would skeer me–looks just like a snake, an’ you knows how skeered Ah is of snakes.”

The author, Hurston, uses tension between the character Sykes and Delia by first introducing the two with an argument about a snake prank. The author also uses metaphors to symbolizes the sykes to the snake because of the resemblance that they are both harmful to Delia which Hurston signifies throughout the short story. ]]> 2019-03-13 19:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/341060089 Colin Lyttle https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/341553831 “Syke! Syke, mah Gawd! You take dat rattlesnake ‘way from heah! You gottuh. Oh, Jesus, have mussy!”  

The rattlesnake symbolizes the toxic relationship between Syke and Delia. The rattle on the snake warns people of its presence and danger. Akin to how emotionally and physically abusive Syke is to Delia. Hurston uses her fear of snakes to connect to how she fears Syke. Delia said how snakes could killer her sort of how Syke could 🤬 her from his abuse.]]> 2019-03-14 21:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/341553831 Colin Lyttle https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/341559670 " No one was to sit with knees separated (setting brazen) a lady must never whistle  and a lady must never cross her legs".

There was the ring of singing metal on wood...Joe Banks, Ah hear you chunkin’ money in mah do’way. You wait till Ah got mah strength back and Ah’m gointer fix you for dat.”    

The coin is used, in the short story to represent the happiness in their marriage. When Joe finds Missie May with Slemmons he feels cheated and hurt and even more so when May tells him that she is pregnant and he doubts that it is his. But at the end of the short story Joe tosses a few silver dollars in the doorway again saying that he forgives her and that he still loves her.

Zora uses dialogue and perspective to create characters in the story of Spunk. By the dialogue we learn that "Spunk" is a fearless man who is not scared of anything and Joe is the very opposite. Spunk lives up to his name but at the end we learn something different. Zora uses third person narrative which gives limited information since it focuses on a single person which many would argue to be Spunk. Although the town people talk more about Spunk, in reality they are actually defining Joe, a "cowardice who stands up to a fearless man and at the end wins. Came back as a ghost to hunt him and we later find out that Spunk is not so Spunk. Joe is the real Spunk.]]> 2019-04-23 01:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/353214772 DAlly Magh0 https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/353219816 In the story of Sweat, Zora uses plenty of symbolism and irony, we learn that Delia is a very religious woman who is married to Sykes, a very toxic dominant man. Since at first we are told that she is religious, the situation irony occurs when the snake does the opposite from what is expected. Snake in a religious perspective is seen as bad and a symbol of a division and deception but in this particular story its a symbol of relief. The snake symbolizes the rebirth of Delia, a life of freedom, getting rid of the bad and introducing good. ]]> 2019-04-23 01:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/353219816 Dally Magho https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/353228183 As often used by Zora, she uses the gilded coin to symbolize the breach in the relationship between Joe and Missy Mae. Their relationship in the beginning of the story is characterized as this perfect, "goals couple" where nothing can ever go wrong. As the story progresses  we discover that their relationship is infact not as  presented.  Their relationship is gilded.  Although it is wrecked, it bounces back after time which snaps up back into the reality of love. Although a coin might be gilded, that does not change the value of something underneath it.

This technique makes the story more vivid and easy for comprehension.]]> 2019-04-23 03:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/353231508 Dally Magho https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/353231826 Zora says that she realized that she was colored when she turned 13. It is like her identity was taken( her name) then generalized with others due to her skin tone. The racial divide is done as a control tactic but the truth is that at the end of the day we are all the same. ]]> 2019-04-23 03:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_bowers/b511ahrfayt2/wish/353231826
