Their Eyes Were Watching God

I have really enjoyed this book so far. It was a little difficult to read in the begining because of the vernacular the Zora Neale Hurston used, but the more I read the less I noticed the vernacular - I think I kind of got used to it. What I found most interesting was how everything semed to have to be active - we talked about this in class. Everything was described in a lot of detail and everything was in similie or mataphor. A lot of personification was used as well. For example, on the first page we see "his dreams mocked to death by time". On page 2 we see another example: "words walking without masters". Zora Neale Hurston seems to use a lot of descriptive words and phrases like the examples listed above in her writing.
