Searched for Zora found Walker

At first Walker did not even know where Zora Neale Hurston was buried, she then starts a quest to go and find her grave. She is first told Hurston died because of malnutrition.

She also finds out Zora Neale Hurston was not real close with her family. She finally finds out Hurston died because of a stroke. Throughout this journey she learns how her culture is losing its roots.

Janies blues

Janie lost her love
Janie lost her love
got hit with no glove

Joes words were a lie
Joes words were a lie
who knew he would die

Janie grows old
Janie grows old
as her stories are told

A mule was beaten
A mule was beaten
it has barely eaten

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer."  Write a speculative response on what the upcoming year will hold for Janie.  Will this year be the year that asks questions or one that answers them?  Will this be the year that does both?

This upcoming year will be a year of both questions and answers, becuase she just leaves her husband for a man she has only know for a week. This will bring up questions with the old husband about why she left and where did she go. Janie is hoping this would be her answer to the hole in her marrige. This will also show her if she made the right choice to follow her dreams.
