IOP Journal #1

I'm starting my IOP today and I'm extremely lost. Their Eyes Were Watching God was the first book that we read this semester and I barely remember the plot line. I plan on skimming the book in order to remember what happens in the book. My topic is looking at the motifs and the style the book offers. I'm already aware of the style, the author uses a lot of imagery and also southern drawl. The southern drawl for some readers make the book a tough read and for others an easy read. I think that it depends on where you are from and what you are used to hearing. For me, most of family is from the south so I'm really used to hearing people talk in a southern accent. Therefore, this book was an easy read for me and unlike most people I didn't have to read the dialogue out loud. ...I have a lot of work to do!!
