At first when Alice Walker is searching for her she does not realize what she is in for.  When she finds just the smallest fact she gets extremely excited even if she did lie about being her niece.  She does not really know what to expect so everything is a surprise to her and when she finds the grave she is completely upset because of how bad that it looks.  And when Mrs. Sarah tells her she dies of malnutrition she gets very upset.  It is not until she talks to Dr. Benton that she gets the truth of how she really died and how she really lived her life.  Zora Neale Hurston was not a skinny lady, she loved to eat food, and she died of a stoke and when she had one she was never able to write because she could not focus on anything.  She was a great woman, or so the people that knew about her say.  She is not taught in the schools in Eatonville because most people did not agree with what she thought and what she believed in.  It is sad that nowadays people do not know about the great person that walked the very same streets that they do now.

Janie's Blues

What am I supposed to do
To get rid of all these blues?
I get abused everyday
But he tells me that there's no other way.
He hits me across the face
He never lets me have my space.
His words hurt like knives
And I wish I had another life.
I just don't know what to do
About all these stinking blues!

Years Coming

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer." 
When we are young we often ask questions but never answers.  As a female we ask questions about our body and males often do the same.  We usually never get the answers because our parents say we are not ready but as we get older  and experience these situations on our own we get answers to things that we never knew.  For Janie she wants to know what the upcoming year will bring, questions or answers.  She knows for a fact that she is happy with her new husband but everyone around her had a million questions and at one point so did she.  This next year she will receive the answers she has been waiting for.  She will learn the importance of love and she will be able to tell what it is that is best for her and what is not so good.
