Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.

Pronto Call
I really enjoyed our Pronto discussion on the Women and the Blog list tonight. I've enjoyed reading the Women, more than I did the Men. The Women seemed more realistic, than the Men.

Zora Neale Hurston
I am really enjoying the American Literature class, I didn't get a chance to take American Literature in High School. I was an average student and did what was required of me. I had heard of Zora Neale Hurston, but had not read any of her stories until this class and I've enjoyed reading them. She was an American folklorist, anthropologist, and author during the time of the Harlem Renaissance. Of Hurston's four novels and more than 50 published short stories, plays, and essays, she is best known for her 1937 novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God." I read the story in our book, "How It Feels to Be Colored Me."
How many of you have heard of Zora Neale Hurston, and what do you know about her? Have you read any of her stories, if so, which ones? If you have read, "How It Feels to Be Colored Me," what did you think about the story?
