Hurston Their eyes were watching god v. Wallace’s This is water.
Wallace primarily focuses on the notion of perspectives and understanding how each individual could be understood
without the self-centered, narcissistic thoughts regulating our perspectives, therefore it's applicable with Hurston ’s novel (Their eyes were watching god), where the personal narrative of Janie becomes a political narrative in the
without the self-centered, narcissistic thoughts regulating our perspectives, therefore it's applicable with Hurston ’s novel (Their eyes were watching god), where the personal narrative of Janie becomes a political narrative in the
novel, where the perspectives of an individual character clashes with an individual's desires.
Janie perspectives break the norm of submissive and disempowered females within the social context of the 1930s.
Her choices subsequently broaden our perspectives while breaking the cliche and norm of financial stability for
sustained living that surrounds females, despite what characters say about financial stability and the perception
having a social/financial stature, Janie still reluctantly proceed to desire a more profound compassionate
relationship. This transitions to the use of emotional intelligence that Jaine gains in order to give an expression of
individuality, we are able to comply and empathize this change due to the previous relationships of abuse and
inequality that showed through logan and Jody. Hurston juxtaposing complexity of thought and the use disjointed
vernacular English in Janie to deliver a more empathetic character getting a perspective on how specific desires
and reasoning comply with Jaine therefore as a reader I gain a new profound understanding on the development
of people actions and as to be more susceptible for minor annoyances and other perspectives outside from my
understanding.

Wallace mentions that we as individuals prize tolerance and the diversity of beliefs, where we comply that our
beliefs are correct due to a previous experience or stimulus which creates a self-centric, confirmation bias
which deducts a lot of perspectives outside from your own. Hurston applies this with Janie's grandmother where
her preconception of marriage and financial stability forced her to regulate Janie’s desires and go within a
financially stable lifestyle, we comply and empathize this change as the development of Janie’s character
contradicted as to what Nanny aforementioned to be the ideal lifestyle.

In conclusion, the development of Hurston's protagonist in the novel creates an empathetic tone which
subsequently broadens our understanding outside from our own and complies with minor annoyances or
is more accepting towards change weather displeasing or pleasing depending in your structure of beliefs.

What resonates with me is the way you have included that because of Janie being victimized in her relationships with Logan and Jody that we are able to empathise with her when she begins to express her own thoughts. I enjoyed this blog post. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Well, I personally talked about how does the [This is Water] and [The Eyes Were Watching God] helps to develop empathy throughout reading. Of course, [This is Water] talks about empathy throughout the essay where Wallace talks about his shopping routine of his life. In [The Eyes Were Watching God], Janie; the protagonist's idea of "successful life" changes as time goes. And this is linked to empathy I believe, because this novel is highly focused on the time flow of the situation and Janie's emotion, which leads the readers to eventually link their emotion into Janie's emotion whether or not they were grown in the similar situation or culture.
