Meet Zora Neale Hurston

Hey, so who's ever heard of Zora Neale Hurston? Don't worry if your answer was no, that would've have been my answer a week ago. Now that I know who she is let me brief you. Zora Neale Hurston  was born in Notasulga, Alabama. When she grew up, she became an amazing novelist of the Harlem Renaissance. She was always thought to be "the life of the party" which could be seen in her writing. Whenever you see pictures of Zora you almost always see her wearing her signature hat. Some of Hurston's novels include Jonah's Gourd Vine and Their Eye's Were Watching God. Today I'm here to tell you about Their Eyes Were Watching God. This novel is about an independent woman name Janie Crawford. Throughout the story, you will go through Janie's hopes, dreams, poverty, and lifestyle. Interested yet? Me too! Now I can't tell you everything because well I haven't read the book yet myself, but I will and I'll keep you updated!
