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.

  1. Do you think the fact that she only had a dog with her meant something?

  2. How was it ironic that Hurston used actual people in her books?
