Their Eyes Were Watching God is one of the best books I have ever read! I am glad that I had to read this book for my African American Literature class. Later on, while I was analyzing the title I found that the title contradicts with the fact that it contradicts one major philosophy of American people. As the American people are made to think that they are the chosen ones and God has sent them to purify the world, they are made to believe that God is watching them. In this novel, however, the African American folks , who are the characters of the novel, are watching the God! I found the contradiction really interesting and its worth discussing a lot more!

'Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things done and undone. Dawn and doom were in the branches.'
One might say that Janie knew how to get along, but she never was one to settle. Buffeted along by the social dictates of her time Janie made do in the depression era South as best she could. She was married off young, her ambitions were shrouded for years, yet through it all Janie remembered the joy of being a bee kissing a pear tree.
Zora Neale Hurston captures a cultural history of America that few remember. Through Janie, Hurston tells the story of being an African American woman in America's awkward adolescence. She tells a love story set to rival anything written since. A painfully honest recount of a time not so long past, this breathtaking novel is a must read
