Their Eyes Were Watching God

[apstudent]

I just started reading this book and any insight on the overall meaning of the book or how to read it would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, so what is the book?

[Robert E Lee]

I'm going to have to read it in a couple of months because I'm an ap student like you.

It looks like more "poor me" black literature. I can't wait to not give a **** about it.

To top it off, the writer has a Muslim name, Zora. She's probably anti-Semitic as hell and might think that the Jews were responsible for the slave trade.

You just don't go into books with an open mind, do you? Don't you appreciate seeing a different perspective, even if you don't end up agreeing with it?

Aww come on Robert, you're judging the author and her work by her name? :-?
