In Sweat by Hurston's I felt that the languages in the story was really strong, brutal and truthful. Faulkner's luaus wasn't as aggressive and powerful as Hurston's story. The language went well with the time period of the story because during that time is was very racial. The language used in That Evening sun is similar with Hurston's story because of the choice in words that were used. It also relates to the time period like Sweat. Although the words used were very cringing in a way when read because today most people don't use that type of language.

The way the language relates to the identity and background of the author is that Hurston states her race was the reason why she got herself in huge trouble. There were similarities and differences between both of the stories. The min similarity is how both of these stories use the same type of language and how they both are based off of the same time era. They both also change up the way they spell certain words to give their readers a sense of an accent.

IDEA DRAFT

Oscar Wao draws heavily from popular culture. Comics as well as fantasy, science fiction, role playing games, film and music - to the extent it can even be considered a culture odyssey of "geekfom" in 80's and 90's America The majority of comic book references in the novel are from DC comics and Marvel universe like global icons such as batman and superman and popular series like X-man, the Fantastic four and Watchmen one source I might use is : Desai, Ahmad. “Superheroes in Love: The Role of Alan Moore's Watchmen in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.” Academia.edu , 22 Dec. 2014, www.academia.edu/19025540/Superheroes_in_Love_The_Role_of_Alan_Moore_s_Watchmen_in_The_Brief_Wondrous_Life_of_Oscar_Wao. The narrator of the Oscar sections is no stranger to a geeky allusion he repeatedly refers to himself as a Watcher yet he does not share in the same social awkwardness as Oscar in the book it shares a non-linear structure jumping back and forth in time  ...

Bell Hooks

In my opinion I feel that race, gender, class, and sexual orientation is not an important thing to know about the authors I will be reading in school.  When Bell Hooks says " Th at   white world made me doubt myself. And in the space of that doubt I needed proof that they were all wrong—that there are great writers who happened to be black, just as my beloved Emily Dickinson happened to be white." When she said this I thought to myself that she meant that everyone is equal and the same as white people in  writing. That it didn't matter if you were a African American or white writer because you could be a great writer no matter what race you are. She says how Emily Dickinson is a writer who she beloved who happened to be white just as she was a writer who happened to be African American. So don't judge a authors writing base off of there ethnicity. I think that it should not be an issue or concern that you need to know the...
