IOP Journal #2

After working on my IOP now for a couple hours I am finally getting a better understanding of what I will be talking about. I have found two major motifs that appear throughout the book, death and nature. These two motifs have a major effect on the book but I haven't yet found what these motifs do for the book. As they appear throughout the whole book they obviously do something important. I haven't yet looked at the style in which the author writes, but I know that the author uses a lot of imagery and other literary techniques. Hurston especially uses this at the beginning of every chapter when the author continues with the story line. This is a very draining process, I just hope when I'm done with everything I feel confident with what I find.
