This relates to the book Their eyes were watching god, Hurtson wanted to get the idea out of independence in woman and how men treat them, with race to. When Janie was working she felt non important as a woman, that wasn't her dream but almost being forced to do it, like keeping her hair up. When she gives her friend some food for less cost, the men make a deal out of it and how that woman acted. This is evidence that racism and what gender is almost the same but has moved sideways throughout the years. People still feel this pain inside and out when they know they are being discriminated against, in public, at home, and even at work. ]]> 2018-12-11 14:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/313421307 https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/313812079 Lots of races don´t feel safe where they live because of people in their community and even laws that are being set in government states, that put over reasoned restrictions on people. There are problems even in elementary school, this shows that racism will be a continuing problem and wont just fix itself.  Many rallies and peaceful rallies are put together for these immigrants who come into the country, which is showing people that there is a problem they are not seeing. A big problem is harassment from other people in communities, work, school etc. ]]> 2018-12-12 13:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/313812079 https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/313857546 Most people nowadays don´t like to bring up race or talk about it, afraid of what will happen in the conversation or what will happen after. People are afraid of talking about their color, they don´t want to be shunned out or to be a target for other people. But to tell a story of who they are, like in their eyes were watching god. The book talks about a Horizon and how to get there, Janie tells her story basically this whole book to her friend Pheoby. This was her story, of race and in general because she was a woman what she had to go through to be happy in life. Janie hid from her problems mostly in the book, at the end of the book she is more aware of the problems and gains independence. What really mattered to her was what her experiences were. ]]> 2018-12-12 14:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/313857546 https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/313873602 80 years forward from "Their Eyes Were Watching God", 50 years after i have a dream and Martin L. died. Criminal issues, strikes, political issues in this article relate to the book Their Eyes Were Watching God. Jobs in their eyes were watching god and the amount of money they made didn't seem like they made lots of money, leaving it in a lower class setting. Obviously having the whites made more money, this is still is an issue today, with jobs and schools this happens.  This has gone sideways due to social class, and even race.  ]]> 2018-12-12 15:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/313873602 shayna_causey https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315171885 When you see young children fighting back from racism there is a problem. In their eyes were watching god, Janie's first kiss was a white boy, she didn't have a problem with this, or even see a problem with this. Her grandma did, due to her age and her own race, even in her own opinion. Its good to see that after telling the history of  for what most races have for beliefs or religions, most of the problem was fixed hoping to expand it even bigger.  From the classroom, to recess to outside.  ]]> 2018-12-17 14:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315171885 shayna_causey https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315173388 There are many ways, woman, men and children use to try and get rid of racism. To use music is a very standing out idea, many many people listen to music everyday. Its not only the beat or tune that goes to the song, but the meaning of the song, the words and the lyrics. The story of that person who is telling it is the purpose, to hear a story, to tell a story. Not only tell one but to also fix a story. Janie in "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is telling her long full story. Janie doesn't use much music throughout this book, but her story is shared, like a song. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315173388 shayna_causey https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315177200 Color should effect everything on how or what someone does in life. Everybody wants something special, even wanting to be somebody. He says at 5:10-5:10, relating to Hurtsons book Their Eyes Were Watching God. Janie didn't even speak out to Jody for a while, he gave her ¨everything¨ but that´s not making life happy, is having what you want. Janie at the time of being with Jody had a big house and many expensive things, almost living like a ¨white folk¨.  Looking back, blacks never had expensive or nice things, was it because they were black ? Janie held back every time from leaving all 3 of her husbands. Due to the disrespect they gave her. Blacks and whites at the times were treated often different in many many occasions. no matter if they were rich or poor, how much they worked or how much they had. Nowadays this can relate, not much has changed but the fact that blacks have a lower percentile of jobs, schools, and work etc. This is proof of how racism is still going on nowadays, not mattering what class you are in. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315177200 shayna_causey https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315188253 Its sad how color was used as an amusement to white people. Even black actors used this black paint to color themselves to "fit the performance", this is a very big mimic of slavery and racism. To dress up and be a different color and act as someone else, its offending. Even when a person doesn't typically act like that. The viewpoint of it has at least changed now a days, a lot of people doesn't think it is right to do this. Color isn't a joke or what class of race you are. It still goes on in history but so does racism. Thinking this was a joke but its not funny at all, even when it is a simple mistake. The perspective on stage of how black people lived was sad, because they were taking guesses or judging how these people lived basically giving them their own culture, when they have one of their own. ]]> 2018-12-17 15:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/315188253 shayna_causey https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/316401805 Privilege is a word heard a lot, like the difference between privilege and rights. Many many people these days and even 100 years a go don't consider the difference. This concludes with race, religion, class and even gender that you are. It shouldn't be like that, but society and government has different ideas then the public. The fact that what color your skin is and you get treated way differently then a person with a lighter skin than you shouldn't be a thing. That's history,In TEWWG Janie was treated wrongly because she was a woman, but her grandma and also her mother were abused by white men. Forcing Janie to marry a black man, but when she was younger with her innocence she didn't know what had happened, she didn't judge the color she thought they were the same. When kids learn history its like they are choosing a side, of what there family believes and what they believe. Privilege isn't a right its something earned, and many people just wan the respect they have gave back. ]]> 2018-12-21 14:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/316401805 shayna_causey https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/316401931 Growing up many people and races face different things. Within the class they are in and just by the skin of their color, when taking a step back and listening and reading what or how it feels, we as a society know it is not right. Society as a whole has moved sideways since the publish of "Their Eyes Were Watching God". Hurston describes many different story's in the book and it leads to one belief that if one story is shared, then one mind can be changed. ]]> 2018-12-21 14:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/shayna_causey/bh91c4x7p937/wish/316401931
