Janie Mae Crawford

In my newest novel we follow the story or the protagonist Janie Mae Crawford is an interesting charter who I have watched progress as I read Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God". She starts off a young girl raised by her grandmother sure of only one thing, the her dream, quest, goal whatever you wish to call it is to find true love. The story is some what repetitive for the idea that we have seen her married to two men and on what appears to be her third. We have seen her grow both physically and mentally. With each relationship or hope she gains she also learns from it, reflects on it and seems adjust her plan for love and happiness of of that. It is clear that she doesn't learn what she should do next but she learns what she will not do again. This is true to life in the way that we as people don't necessarily know our future or what we can do to achieve our dreams we all just try to do what we think is write. This type of writing can be expected from Zora Neale Hurston for the fact she is not particularly well educated and it is hard for a writer to write on which they do not know. This makes the novel vary connectable to average people educated or not, similar to Gatsbys story it deals with the quest for a goal, something that all readers can relate to, simple because everyone moves to the horizon.
