Hurston/ How It Feels to Be Colored Me
Throughout this whole essay I was confused about what the point of it was. Even after reading I still don't know exactly what Hurston was trying to get across. It seems as if she is trying to break away from the mold of being the decedent of a slave and wants to break away from racial connections in general. Then it takes a turn into her being proud and even offended by what people say about being "colored." In the end what I pieced together was that she wanted people to realize that we are all special in our own way and that was the way it was intended to be.

Denise, can you point to specific examples of where/how you find opposing viewpoints in the essay? Also, do you think that this narrative might be revealing the complexities of associating craft with culture?
