Their Eyes Were Watching GodZora Neale Hurston focuses on the evolution of an African-American woman as she navigates adulthood and three marriages in Their Eyes Were Watching God. Hurston expresses narration through Janie Crawford's point of view as she tells her story to her friend Phoeby and uses two dialects throughout the novel. The clear dichotomy between the narrator's diction and the characters' African-American dialect gives importance to Janie's struggles and progress to find her strength and independence. Hurston amplifies the theme of voice and language, not only with the personalities of the characters, but also with the form of the novel as she employs a third-person omniscient point of view, causing imagery and shifts in tone. After two failed marriages, Janie finally gains a sense of freedom. He soon meets Tea Cake when he enters the shop and asks her to play checkers with him. The narrative of their first meeting lets readers know what Janie thinks of Tea Cake, while also showing Janie's control in telling Phoeby. The contrast between Janie's behavior towards Tea Cake and her behavior towards her ex-husbands foreshadows an equal relationship between the two, bringing her closer to her goal of finding her own voice. Tea Cake's name conjures up an image of sweetness, and Janie gives him a "little careful look to understand its meaning." Since there were no images attributed to Joe and Logan, readers know that Tea Cake and its sweetness will help Janie's goal. The final image of the moon rising with its "amber fluid that drenches the earth and quenches the day's thirst" signifies a new day in Janie's life, as talking to Tea Cake quenches Janie's thirst for a voice and a individual... middle of paper... Amanda's past in Tom's memory takes the audience away from the real world to the image and vice versa, adding to the disturbing atmosphere of the work. 1984George Orwell's disturbing dystopian novel 1984 delves into the closely monitored lives of the citizens of Oceania as the Party seeks to take control of society. In totalitarianism, propaganda and terrorism are forms of subjugation with one main goal: total obedience. He wanted to create a "what if" novel, what would happen if totalitarian regimes, such as the Nazis and the Soviets, were to take over the world. If totalitarianism were to occur, the leader would be the brains of the entire system. Orwell emphasizes the theme of individualism versus collective identity through Winston, the protagonist, and his defiance of the Party and Big Brother, with a frightening tone, surreal imagery and a limited third-person point of view.
