There Eyes Were Watching God- Journal #5

Then, Jake began to think of Fear. Fear, the miss conceivable character that foggs the mind in each direction. That looms over the dark alleyway blocking the way to the illuminating light at the end. What can clear this fog allowing easier travel to the end of the alley. Why does this fog occupy the alley? They crouch in the security of the fog waiting. Demons that might or might not be there. Been walking through that alley before, not knowing what, where or when something would leap out of the fog with a goal of driving him off course farther away from the illuminating light. It was probable for him to find glowing eyes peering out of the edges of the fog any day now. Rachel reassured Jake's safety, but Jake continued cautiously through the alley unconvinced. His sense of security would grow as he passes the glowing eyes and gets closer to the illuminating light. He was going to make it without any harmful events, but that's not what he thought. Rachel encouraged him against his thinking so she knew. And if he had, the. She would know for the fog becomes thicker and darker as it successfully claims a victim. Ignorance flowed out of the alley as a giant shadow dwarfed the alley.


I attempted to mimic Hurston exactly on page 84. I changed Death to fear and rumor to ignorance. I used fog to represent fear because if we allow it, fear can prevent us from reaching our goals. I used the illuminating light to represent a goal. I created a character that was allowing fear to control the way he tried to reach a goal, and another character that knew fear was blocking the other's perception. I used ignorance to represent the cause of fear to show that the character was lacking the knowledge about fear which cause the character to be unsuccessful in reaching his goal. This was represented by the giant shadow dwarfing the alley.
