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…-

Afterword
Afterword In the afterword to Their Eyes Were Watching God, Henry Louis Gates Jr. reflects on the literary legacy of Zora Neale Hurston, whose profound influence was not fully appreciated during her lifetime. A graduate of Barnard College, Hurston authored several works, including Jonah's Gourd Vine, Mules and Men, and Seraph on the Suwanee, but her refusal to conform to the expectations of mainstream literature contributed to her marginalization.

Epilogue
Epilogue opens with a vivid image of a man laboring under the soft glow of dawn, tirelessly working across a desolate, empty plain.

As the man works, figures can be seen moving behind him, their mechanical and monotonous pace giving off an eerie sense of detachment. These figures wander aimlessly, some actively searching for bones while others simply move…-
