Hurston

"love ain't somethin' lak uh grindstone dat's de same thing everywhere and do de same thing tuh everything it touch. Love is lak de sea. It's uh movin' thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it's different with every shore."

—Hurston

"The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart."

—Achebe

Reminders

World literature students: Your summer reading text is Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. Please, read it closely so you can account for details as well as discuss general themes. You will be responsible only for the most significant characters' names.

Honors 3 students: Your summer reading is Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. Please, read it closely so you can account for details as well as discuss general themes. Do not watch the movie with this title. It has little to do with the literary work and will confuse you for the exam.
