Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Mrs. Turner finally rose to go after being very firm about several other viewpoints of
either herself, her son or her brother. She begged Janie to drop in on her anytime, but
never once mentioning Tea Cake. Finally she was gone and Janie hurried to her kitchen
to put on supper and found Tea Cake sitting in there with his head between his hands.

"Mah wife takes time fuh whatever she wants tuh do. Real strong headed dat way. Yes

visits when she chooses."
Mr. Turner's words reveal his
lack of control over his wife.
Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God, in which Tea Cake is talking
about Mrs. Turner.
"Thanky Ma'am. Ah hates dat woman lak poison. Keep her from round dis house. Her
look lak uh white woman! Wid dat meriny skin and hair jus' as close tuh her head as
ninety-nine is tuh uh hundred! Since she hate black folks so, she don't need our money
in her ol' eatin' place. We kin go tuh dat white man's place and git good treatment. Her
and dat whittled-down husband uh hers! And dat son! He's jus' uh dirty trick her womb
played on her. Ah'm telling her husband tuh keep her home."

Which excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God is the best example of regional
dialect?
"Shucks! If dat's her notion she's barkin' up de wrong tree. Mah hands is full already."
In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston uses dialect when Tea Cake
speaks in order to
emphasize his cultural background.
Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Janie's coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair made Mrs. Turner forgive
her for wearing overalls like the other women who worked in the fields. She didn't
forgive her for marrying a man as dark as Tea Cake, but she felt that she could remedy
that.
Based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that Mrs. Turner
judges others based on their skin color
