3/4 activity

1. three most important notes learned from the radio show:

1)talk about her starting her career "In 1937, for a black woman writer not yet that well known, to take the oldest literary form and rewrite the quester as a 16-year-old black girl. This was an absolutely wild thing to do."

2)they talk a lot about the power of the language or the way they speak. "people think that we're ignorant and backward because we sound this way, they obviously don't know our history, and why we sound this way."she helps you to understand and to see the people whose voices that are in the novel.


3) they then talk about her history, "Her history, her past, has been an uphill battle to survive and to find herself and to keep herself intact."



2. Share Zora Neale Hurston Info:
Grew up in Eatonville, an all black town. Put out of her house on November 16th, and was accepted by Lippincott that same day.
