Journal 1. Their Eyes Were Watching God

The narration differs from the dialect of the book in one way that the dialect is slang and has miss spelled words. This contrast with the narration which is in a more modern style. This juxtaposition shows insight to the time period and the culture of the charecters. The dialect also has the affect of making you focus on the words in trying to understand what is being said. The dialects helps create the story to feel very personal because you can relate to how people speak in every day life with slang terms and meanings. This contrast also helps make the story feel real, like it is being told to you. With a real word for word account.
