It took me a little while to get the motivation to read this play. I personally didn't think it was the most entertaining play I’ve dealt with. I did think it was interesting how they portrayed different characters and how they changed throughout the story. Blanche seemed like the dying breed of the old fashioned women while her sister, Stella, love Blanche but did not agree with a lot of what she said.
Stella falls in love with a man who is the complete opposite of Blanche. Stanley and Stella have a baby in the end of the story but throughout the play Stanley ridicules Blanche and practically harassers the whole time. The day the baby is suppose to be born Stanley actually comes in and rapes Blanche and to my surprise pretty much gets away with it. I was shocked that Stella, Blanches own flesh and blood didn't believe her sister and still stayed with Stanley.

For the most part I enjoyed this book a lot more then the other stories we have read thus far. The story was kept moving so it kept my attention a little more. At first it was hard to fully understand what was going on when the characters were speaking but in no time it was almost like second nature.
I thought some of the different scenes in the book were very interesting. It was also a very interesting representation of women during the time period. Some times it seemed like Janie was a typical women of the time but other times she shined and became more of a powerful woman who took her own life into her hands. She ran away from her first husband got married, stayed with another husband till he died, then married a third guy who stayed with until she had to kill him for protection. I dont really think that was a typical life style of what happened during the time.

Upon reading the beginning of Zora Neale Hurston’s novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, I actually thought it was somewhat interesting. The way the characters speak is what keeps my attention. I know a lot of people have issues reading like that but I find it entertaining. For some reason I wanted to read it with a European accent or something, I don’t know it was quite odd.

The beginning was very descriptive, even to the point where it was describing a female body. This particular female seems to make a lot of others very jealous. I think it was ironic that all the other girls thought the attractive woman came back for one thing when in fact they were completely wrong.
