"In 1973, the PBS series, An American Family, was broadcasted. Widely considered to be the first modern reality show, it dealt with the issue of divorce in today's nuclear family. A year later, the UK followed suit with a counterpart program, The Family, which portrayed a working class family in Reading; and in 1992, Australia broadcasted Sylvania Waters, which depicted a nouveau-riche family living in Sydney. All three programs were considered to be controversial (Wikipedia, Online Article, 2007), but all were also recognized as having that certain something that appealed, and that entertained, the general public. Over the next decade a wide variety of reality shows were broadcasted, with their counterpart productions being produced throughout the world, as world-wide television companies rushed to join a financially lucrative band-wagon.

"Their Eyes Were Watching God", 2005.

Abstract
The character of Janie in "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a celebrated female character in both African-American and non-African-American literature. Her search for affection and her slightly feminist views at a time when women were not even allowed to vote is inspirational and beautiful. This essay shows how her two unsuccessful marriages and her final affair with Tea Cake changed her for the better and for the worse and how all of her relationships helped her on her quest for what we all so desperately desire: love.
From the Paper
"However, Tea Cake makes her no promises and has nothing to offer her except his love, differentiating himself from his predecessors who pledged to meet her every desire. Janie does not expect much of the relationship, and is therefore amply rewarded. Tea Cake's devotion and simplistic adoration for her, which may have been partially due to the gap in their ages, is a breath of fresh air to Janie after her previous marital imprisonments. She feels infinitely free to do as she wishes without losing her much-valued feelings of affection."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston. Specifically it contains a character analysis of the main character, Janie. It looks at how Janie grows to be a woman in this story, and eventually finds her own brand of peace, as well. At the beginning of the story, she is unsure of herself, and begins to rely on men to prove her own self-worth. By the end of the book, she is strong, independent, and alone, but she has found her peace and her place in the world.
From the Paper
"Janie, the main character in this novel, is a mulatto woman who has lived most of her life the way other people thought she should instead of the way she has always wanted to live. Her mother abandons her when she is young, and her grandmother (Nanny), raises her. The story takes its title from the passage, "They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God" (God 151). Throughout the novel, she attaches herself to men who are not right for her, trying to establish her self-worth through others. However, each man teachers her something about herself, so that finally, she learns something important from each of them in turn, and then can create a viable and happy life for herself. Her first husband is Logan Killicks, an older man that Nanny chooses for her. "

Abstract
The paper examines the novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston, which portrays the prejudices faced by African-American women. The paper describes how Hurston paints a verbal picture of Janie, the African-American woman and explains how through her relationships with different men, she finally finds her true identity.
From the Paper
"The life of Janie in the novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston and published originally in 1937, was written during a period of time when there were few African American women writers. It is a story of the life of an African American woman who is telling her story to a friend and how she did not even know who she was until she met Tea Cake. It is an emotionally charged book that tells how life was for women and men back in the days where whites mistreated them due to their skin color. Hurston paints a verbal picture of Janie, an African American woman, who begins the story of how she had no identity, but through her relationships with different men, finally, finds herself."

"Their Eyes Were Watching God", 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses Zora Neale Hurston's novel about African-American life in early twentieth-century Florida, "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The paper analyzes the novel's message about human behavior which suggests that how we behave is not simply based upon our personalities, but rather is shaped by the complex forces of various social factors, such as race, class and gender.
From the Paper
"Race is an important social force in Their Eyes Were Watching God, although it is not the dominant social force. Janie Woods is an African-American woman in the South in the early twentieth century. Although slavery had been abolished before the time during which the novel takes place, the novel is not all that far removed from slavery. The oldest characters in Their Eyes Were Watching God are old enough to have been slaves. This is in particular true for Janie's grandmother, who reared her (Hurston 16). Nevertheless, the portrayal of white characters in the novel is positive, as opposed to the portrayal of whites in Toni Morrison's Beloved, for example. Janie grew up with a white family, for whom her grandmother worked."

Abstract
This essay explores the connection between status and happiness. Using Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" as a model, this essay reveals that the search for status often leads to unhappiness and dissatisfaction.
From the Paper
"A common element in many cultural novels is the search for social status. Many of the characters in Zora Neale Hurston?s novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God", attempt in various ways to achieve personal satisfaction by improving their social status. Through the eyes of the narrator, the reader learns that although many of the characters are either searching for or seem to have found their place in society, it does not always bring them happiness. For Janie, the main character, the search is a bit different. What she is seeking is simply herself. Three other characters, all of whom want to limit Janie?s freedom, display different ways in which people understand status. Nanny, Joe Starks, and Mrs. Turner all seem to find what they feel is an improved rank in society. Although these three characters achieve status, their attitudes about status ironically make them and those close to them unhappy."

Abstract
This paper studies the significant role that love and relationship plays in Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The paper demonstrates how the character of Janie spent her days looking for love. It also shows how Janie achieves a strong wisdom of her self and comes to value her independence. The paper then explores Hurston's sex differentiations, concentrating on Janie's relationship with Tea Cake.
From the Paper
"Logan Killicks couldn't give this type of love to Janie. He might not have loved her at all. To him, Janie was just another working put of hands. He cared for her almost like another man. He was thoughtless of her feelings, her hopes, and her objectives. He possibly didn't know the color of her eyes. Janie was toiled hard by Logan. He made her do all sorts of things that only men ought to have to have done. He was even leaving to make her cultivate the fields-a job that needs a significant amount of power: power that Janie didn't have. Janie protested that nothing beautiful was ever said. She had no love with Logan Killicks. That is why she left him for a man that proved much prospective to give the type of love she was looking for."

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed analysis of the Zora Nela Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God." In particular, the paper examines the novel's realism and whether Hurston has accurately portrayed black life in middle Florida in the 1920s.
From the Paper
"In Their Eyes Were Watching God, that which may have seemed strangest to many readers unfamiliar with the realities of black life in 1920's middle Florida is the town of Eatonville. Janie moves to this town with her second husband, Jody Starks, and Starks quickly becomes the dominant force in the town (See especially Chapter 5 of Their Eyes Were Watching God for the beginning of Starks' rapid rise in Eatonville (Hurston 34-50)). This all-black town Eatonville did exist, and it was Zora Neale Hurtson's birthplace (Awkward 1). As Hurston was proud of pointing out, Eatonville was "the first black community 'to be incorporated, the first attempt at organized self-government on the part of Negroes in America'" (Hurston quoted in Awkward 1). Although Eatonville really exists, Hurtson does modify certain facts about it and its residents in 'Their Eyes Were Watching God'."

Abstract
This paper examines how Zora Neale Hurston's novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," is flooded with colorful imagery of life in Southern Florida; the pages are brought to life by the changing seasons and blooming trees, which mark the milestones of Janie's life. It looks at how Hurston injects images of Mother Nature, primarily a blooming pear tree, to define Janie's emotions throughout the novel. The natural conditions that surround Janie throughout her youth and marriages measure the development of Janie's inner life.
From the Paper
"In the early stages of chapter two, a teenage Janie watches joy unfurl from a blossoming pear tree. Janie, "saw a dust bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace," (11). This sexual description of the pollination of the flower defines Janie's dreams for emotional and physical fulfillment. Janie is clearly thrilled by the surrounding atmosphere and exclaims, "So this was a marriage!" (11). Hurston uses words such as "delight" (11) and "glorious" (11) to describe Janie's happiness. While watching the pear tree, Janie's emotional high sets the bar for her well-being later on in life. Mother Nature has shown Janie the meaning of fulfillment, and Janie is looking to match the bee's gratification. However, Janie's first marriage does not accomplish all the she hopes."

A discussion of the use of metaphors in Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how in Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God, the author uses metaphors to show the underlying strengths and weaknesses of the main character, as well as some of the authors perceptions of how black women have traditionally been treated by men. It analyzes the four main metaphors used throughout the novel, the pear tree, the mules, Janie's hair and the title of the book itself. It looks at how all of these metaphors have great significance throughout the book and how they all have a much deeper meaning when examined in light of the main character, Janie.
From the Paper
"The first metaphor, that of the pear tree, comes from a passage in the book where Janie is lying underneath a pear tree and watching a bee land in one of the flowers. She sees it as a marriage between the bee and the flower, as well as simply a lovely sight to watch. Janie believes that this marriage between the flower on the pear tree and the bee that lands in it is symbolic of the intensity and sensuality between lovers. Because of this, Janie comments in the book that she would like to be a tree, any tree, that is in bloom. She realizes at this point what is missing from her life and from her marriages. She comments that she believed she was lying under that pear tree and witnessing the courtship between the flower and the bee in order to be party to a revelation (Bush, 1027)."

Abstract
This paper examines how Janie Crawford, an African-American woman, the main character of Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God, strives all her life to find her own voice and self-realization". In particular, it focuses on the roles that Janie's Nanny, Logan, Jody, Tea Cake, and Pheoby, play Janie's life and how they affect her identity development either positively or negatively.
From the Paper
"Janie's grandmother, whom she refers to as "Nanny" takes the position as Janie's guardian. Nanny not only spoils Janie, but also makes life choices for her. Nanny is old, and she only wants the best for her grandchild, for she knows that the world is a cruel place. Nanny makes the mistake of not allowing Janie to learn anything on her own. Nanny, who was enslaved most of her lifetime, told Janie that a woman can only be happy when she marries someone who can provide her wealth, property, and security. Nanny knew nothing about love since she never experienced it and believed that love is unnecessary for her as well as for Janie. Grandma makes the decisions which she believe to be right, not the decisions which Janie wants. "

Abstract
The attempts of black feminists to accommodate the often-conflicting imperatives of individual transformation, feminine bonding, and racial communalism have had a powerful effect on the reinterpretation of Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The novel is seen as a vehicle of feminist protest through its condemnation of the restrictiveness of bourgeois marriage and through its exploration of intraracial sexism and male violence.
