Our Learning Focus for Today:1. Use textual evidence to track key actions and characters’
emotional responses.2. Analyze how Hurston’s writing reflects and departs from the
ideas of the Harlem Renaissance.
Reviewing Previous Chapters
1. Review the ending of Chapter 6, beginning with “Janie did what she had never done before.” Think about what this action means to Janie’s character development. Share your answer.
2. After reading the first two paragraphs of Chapter 7, describe how the author’s use of imagery expresses Janie’s sense of her marriage. How does her behavior at the beginning of this chapter compare to her actions at the end of Chapter 6?
3. Create a T-Chart for Chapters 7 & 8 that focuses on important plot developments and Janie’s emotional response to those developments. Pick out 3 important plot developments for each chapter.
4. How are Hurston’s beliefs in the power of the individual reflected in Janie’s character?
5. How does Janie’s character reflect and depart from the Harlem Renaissance?
Chapters 7-9: Janie’s “Route of Tradition”

Example: “People who never had known what it was to enter the gate of the Mayor’s yard unless it were to do some menial job now paraded in and out…” p.83
Example: Hurston’s description of how Joe treated people in the town harkens the reader to connect him to the era of slavery.
