Read the excerpt from their eyes were watching god
to janie’s strange eyes, everything in the everglades was big and new. big lake okechobee, big beans, big cane, big weeds, big everything. weeds that did well to grow waist high up the state were eight and often ten feet tall down there. ground so rich that everything went wild. volunteer cane just taking the place. dirt roads so rich and black that a half mile of it would have fertilized a kansas wheat field. wild cane on either side of the road hiding the rest of the world. people wild too.
