<p>…in the book Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston…
It is taking me so long to get through it (although I have only just begun) and although it puts you in the moment more, it makes it a lot more dense.
Advice on how to get through it? Does it get any easier as you go along?</p>
<p>haha. I had to read that book. I think that as I got towards the end I began to get used to it. Reading it aloud sometimes helps, either when you’re alone or when you’re with friends who want to make fun of it.</p>
<p>^^ Thanks. I think reading it aloud might help but only when I’m by myself otherwise I’d end up laughing or something. It’s really funny in class b/c my teacher loves reading it to us aloud in his faux-Southern accent and acting out all of the characters.</p>
<p>Grandiose terminology obfuscates quotidian colloquy.</p>
<p>But it’s not that it’s grandiose. It’s just a different type of dialect.</p>
