Open Question: HELP! Any suggestions for introductory/conclusion paragraph for my essay on Zora Neale Hurston?
I want my thesis statement to be: Hurston - like many in the spotlight - was discovered mid-life, was famous for a good length of time, and died with nothing.
Here’s the rest of my essay:
Even though she was born in Alabama in 1891, Hurston?s family of ten moved to the primarily black society of Eatonville, Florida shortly after. She called the town home and it would become a major influence on her writings later in life. When Hurston was thirteen?years-old her mom died. She didn?t like her step-mom so she went to live with her brother. The convenience didn?t last long though, due to her dislike of taking care of her nieces and nephews. In order to get away Hurston worked for a traveling theater. She then became a white family?s servant. This family helped her go to high school in Baltimore, Maryland where she graduated in 1918 at the age of twenty-seven. Hurston continued her education at Howard University, supporting herself with various jobs. The school?s magazine published her first short stories. In 1925 Hurston joined ?Opportunity? magazine when one of her stories won a contest and was published in the magazine. This would be the start of life in the limelight.
After knowing of Hurston through ?Opportunity? the founder of Barnard College helped her obtain a scholarship. While there, she studied anthropology (the study of humans) which helped with later publication. In 1934 Hurston?s first novel, Jonah?s Gourd Vine, was published. It featured biblical themes and was based on her life, telling of a southern family in a predominantly black society. Hurston?s folktale collection, Mules and Men, was published the next year. Two years later, in 1937, Their Eyes are Watching God was published. Although it was not recognized for its true worthiness until several decades later, the novel has become her most famous and is still a bestseller to this day. Hurston?s autobiography, Dust Tracks on the Road, was published in 1942. The author?s last published novel was Seraph on the Sewanee in 1948. The story went against what was publicly accepted from black authors by focusing on and telling about a white couple. This clash with society brought Hurston?s career to an end.
?While living in New York, she was arrested on false charges of molesting a mentally handicapped ten-year-old boy,? according to Michael Aliprandini?s article “Zora Neale Hurston (Aliprandini 3).? Hurston moved to Florida to escape the media that was pushing her to the brink of suicide. The last ten years of Hurston?s life were filled with unstable work. She lived in poverty except when a magazine article was published or friends helped out. Those ten years ended on January 28, 1960 when Hurston died of heart disease and was buried in an unmarked grave. The author was sadly forgotten until her rediscovery began with the help of Alice Walker and Robert E. Hemenway in the mid-1970s.
Thanks
