Searching for Zora
Walker goes on a journey to find the grave, and as she is flying over Eatonville she recognizes it as some of Zora's books and autobiography describe it. Walker and her friend Charlotte go to Zora's hometown and find some one who might know a little about Zora's, they give her information about the grave and how she dies, which was wrong, but they point her to an old woman who went to school with Zora, but that's all. They discover her unmarked grave completely covered in weeds, Then they meet a man and he gives them some good information about Zora. It is ironic that Zora uses real characters in her novels such as Jody Starks was a character formed from the real mayor of Eatonville. Later they find Zora's old house that she used to live in, and find out that her and her family did not get along, which leads to her unmarked grave. They also found that Zora had only one companion which was her dog.

Janies Blue Life
Janies Blues
what makes Janie feel sad?
She wants to find true love so very bad.
All she wants is a husband, to hold and to love,
but what she gets is quite opposite, a push and a shove.
All of her life since she was a child,
Has never been easy, never meek nor mild.
Nanny was all that Janie had,
No brothers no sisters no mother no dad.
She grew up with friends, the color of white.
But others of that color did not approve of this sight.

Janie oh Janie with her long brown hair,
you will catch her lying quietly under the tree of a pear.
at sixteen quietly thinking of her life,
shes thinking only about being a girl, not being a wife.
She rushed into marriage hoping to seem older
But that burnt quickly into a smolder
Janie ran off directly thereafter,
Hoping to find love, happiness and laughter
What seemed great for an hour or two,
Soon became the reason for Janie being blue.

Janie's future
"There are years that ask questions and years that answer." Write a speculative response on what the upocoming year will hold for Janie. Will this eyar be the year that asks questions or one that answers them? Will this be the year that does both? Respond to at least three peers.
When she was sixteen she had a year full of questions, she did not know who she was going to marry or what she even wanted in her life. Her Nanny was telling her to do so many things that she did not know how to do. Even after was was married, she still had questions about love, she did not know if she was supposed to feel the love right away or not.
In the upcoming year I think janie will still have a lot of unanswered questions and things she will be curious about just as she had in the passed. She leaves Logan and marries Jody, which she believes will make her happy but i believe this upcoming year will bring problems with jody as well.
