SAMPLE PAGE 1 Do not write your heading on any other page. Last Name 1 My Name English 102.001 November 19, 2018 Prof. Hurston’s Use of Dialect Zora Neale Hurston uses literary techniques, such as dialect, foreshadowing and personification in Their Eyes Were Watching God. Dialect is a form of speech which distinguishes the narrator from the characters. This form of language makes the characters more authentic and realistic (Madison 75). This is an example when the author is given. Develop each paragraph with five or more sentences and indent. Hurston realizes the impact that language has on the use of personification when referring to death which was portrayed as a being with a sword and wearing squared-toed shoes (Impact of Dialect). This an example of a citation when no author is given. MUST DOUBLE SPACE. TIMES NEW ROMANS 12 |
