BookTrailer: Their Eyes Were Watching God

If you are going to be in AP English 3 next year, your summer reading selection will be Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. I haven't read the book since I was in high school, so I listened to the audio to refresh my memory. I LOVED IT; therefore, I strongly suggest you listen to the audio--you can even follow along in the book if you want. The richness of the language is such an integral part of this book. Example of the text: "Naw, 'tain't nothin' lak you might think." Can you understand it? Sure, especially after you get into the rhythm of it. But for me, it's hard to hear the beauty of the words when I working through their meaning, know what I'm saying? Anyway, without further ado, here's the book trailer...
