IOP Journal #3

Today I worked on my IOP a lot. I finalized the information I needed to gather in order to talk about the motifs i focused on. I feel that my quotes that I have found support my arguments really well. What i focused on the most was the word choice that Hurston used. She used a lot of forceful words that show the importance of each motif. What i need to work on now is the argument I will have for the style in which Hurston writes. I know that I will be talking about the beginning of several chapters that foreshadow what will happen in the following chapter, but I'm also looking at the dialect. The dialect is southern drawl and for most readers this provides some difficulty. But what I have found is that with this dialect it allows the reader to feel apart of the book and feel as if they are watching the story instead of reading it. But what else does it do?!? I still need to do some thinking.
