Zora Neale Hurston: Jump at the Sun

She thinks that she loves herself and no matter what anyone else says

People thought that she was very outspoken and proud of who she was.

She grew up in Edenville, Florida, which was filled with good schools and a lot of African-Americans, and it was a place where everyone was equal

She happened to live in Harlem and started to experience a lot of racism compared to Edenville

She made her writing sound very beautiful and song like

She says men chased their dreams and reaches them, but they never really fulfill them as when they are close to doing so, death takes them away

In the intro of Her Eyes Are Watching God she is constantly being judged since she was gone for such a long time

She tends to describe the people with beautiful language, and then describe how they talk, then moves on with the dialogue and brings an abrupt stop.
