I think that it is still worth while to learn about the Harlem Renaissance in the 21st century because it is part of history. It is still worth while because we can learn about what the artists went through in the past. If you don’t learn about it today you will not know how the African American artists progressed in the arts. The Harlem Renaissance is very interesting to see all the different artists that emerged in the 1920’s. If you don’t learn about it you will not able to understand the rest of history after it. This time in history is very important to artists today so if we don’t know about it we wouldn’t understand who inspired them. Learning about the Harlem renaissance helps you understand how the music , poetry, literature, and painting are connected with different themes. So the Harlem Renaissance is very important and still worth while to learn about today in the 21st century. Overall i really liked learning about the Harlem renaissances.

ending of their eyes are watching god
In the beging of the book i thought that i wouldnt like it but i began to like even though it was still hard to read. i think that janie being with tea cake made her become herself she finnaly had a voice. Tea cake definitly was a questianably character the way the town was talking about him. But after reading all the gentlemen things he did with her. LIke the first the thing when he played checkers with her treated her as equal. Then when they talk about all the things they did together like in chapter 12 where they list the things tea cake and janie dance and tea cake and janie gone fishing. Tea Cake wasnt the man that peopel thought he was he loved janie and i think by the end of the book i think she finally found who she really was she found herself.
Something that caought my attention was when tea cake said "Ah i reckon you wish now you had stayed in yo' big house 'way from such as dis dont yuh?" then janie says that Naw.Naw? yeah, Naw. People dont die till dey time come nohow, dont keer where you at. Ah,m wid mah husband in uh storm, dats all." i think this was a time in the book where janie showed her strong side. i dont think she could have done it without tea cake becuase he let her be herself. tea cake and janie were the match that i think that she was looking for throughout the book. The ending of the book was good i think he defined who janie really was she was strong after all she had been through.
