Your focus on Hurston's opening paragraphs is warranted. This is the first thing we will discuss after the presentations so I am happy that it is already being addressed and picked apart. Effective connection to the major symbol of the green light in The Great Gatsby, well done.Mr. Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875139645161099104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388852932580512093.post-10341242810970762712009-02-23T15:19:00.000-08:002009-02-23T15:19:00.000-08:00I agree with Jaime as to Hurston's intent but I do...I agree with Jaime as to Hurston's intent but I don't agree with her actual viewpoint that women's dreams are less grand than men's.
