Nanny

our lives on the front reign, we are constantly trying to please people with the things we do during our days (it really is as if we are preforming for people.)

Being a nanny is pretty much like a performance running around, watching what I say, what I do, and how I act, altering myself for the people I work for “my audience” if you…

independent women who enjoy being challenged. This trait comes from generations of women with the same demeanor. For me it comes from my grandma, who we all adoringly call “Nanny”; she caught her independent streak from her mother. My mother, sister, Nanny, and I all share the one household. I had the privilege of interviewing Nanny during a long car ride and gained great insight into her own childhood and my great-grandparents life. I also interviewed my sister, Haven, through…

Throughout Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston’s use of vernacular language is a pertinent aspect in order to thoroughly understand the novel.

Correspondingly, Nanny’s speech is slightly worse than that of other characters. With careful examining, Nanny can be seen as a clever woman who knows how to ensure the needs of herself and family are tended to, rather than the reverse in which Hurston promoted. Janie is also portrayed, though strong-willed, as submissive to her husbands. All three of her marriages…

Their Eyes Were Watching God Zora Neale Hurston wrote this great book about a girl changing into a young women. Oprah changed it all she made the book seem like a love story but this could never be. In the movie Janie was seen as a strong young women but in the book she was just a young lady who listens everything that she was told to do. All of Janie’s marriages caused a dramatic change in her life, Oprah changed the main relationship in the movie. This book would reflect some young lady…
