Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Dig into Zora Neale Hurston s classic novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, which follows Janie Crawford in her search for love and agency. Baritone thunder. Snarling winds. Consuming downpours. Okeechobee, the hurricane of 1928, forced many to flee their ruined communities. But for Janie Crawford, it inspired an unexpected homecoming. So begins Zora Neale Hurston s acclaimed novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, about a Black woman s quest for love and agency. Tanya Boucicaut dives into this classic of the Harlem Renaissance

Read this one for high school homework. At the time I found it a little difficult to follow, all the dialogue is written in an extra phonetic way that s meant to convey the accents and dialects of those speaking.
But looking at it as a whole it was definitely one of the more interesting and thought provoking books I had to read

What a coincidence! A friend actually recommended this just the other day. While the title itself is really interesting, the fact that TED-Ed reviewed this novel means that I'm in for a treat as I embark on a journey that draws inspiration from the author's own personal experiences.

I loved this book as a teenager and now entering my mid 30s it resonates deeper. The free spirit of Janie, her love & loss. Truly a book to revisit over time as you continue on the journey of life.
Thank you Ted for this, I ll be picking this book up once again.

Revelation 13: 16-17
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Great video, but I m calling click bait. This was a novel and racial tension analysis, which is important, but it wasn t what the title suggested. It s like ordering jubejubes and getting Hershey s kisses. Good, but not what was expected.

Love is like the sea. It s a moving thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from the shore it meets, and it s different with every shore.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story

This is showing up at an incredibly interesting time for me. I always questioned this. I ve worked on self love and love for others but today I got this strand feeling. It s a really good feeling that sometimes they can t coexist.

The video, the author and the explanation of her book had nothing to do with the question the video title posed. Click bait. This is the first time I think Ted Ed has done this to me: (

damn, times surely have been different back then, now it's the other way around, women are way more priviledged than men in the western world

The answer to the question (title) is no. The concept of love implies loving someone or something. Oh and I didn't watch the video
