In order to assist Olivia in analyzing the novel and answering exam essays, I provided notes on notable metaphorical motifs found in the end of chapter 4: 1. Mules 2. The Pear tree 3. New clothes and 4. the power of the word. We examined Hurston's poetic style by discussing the more prosaic diction that might describe the character's emotional state and then comparing prosaic diction to the author's metaphorical poetic prose. Olivia further commented on the connection between the theme of self-discovery and Jannie Crawford's change of clothes and names as she discards her farm clothes, leaves her first husband and marries Joe Stark. In Chapter 5, the novel switches location to Eatonville, Florida, Zora Hurston's hometown in Florida. As such, we looked at pictures of Eatonville in the 1930's ,including locations mentioned in the novel, to assist Olivia in visualizing the novel's setting . We were able to view the house the character,Jannie Crawford, occupies and the general store where she and her husband worked. I last emphasized the power of the spoken voice in the novel as Jannie discovers her own self or her own voice in the face of a patriarchal society's ongoing effort to silence her. For homework ,I assigned reading through page 60.
