Question

How is hurston's reaction to the music in jazz clubs different from the reactions of the white people who accompany her there?

Answer 1

She feels it and dances passionately to it, while her white friends do not feel anything, and don't react.

Step-by-step explanation:

In her book "How It Feels to Be Colored Me", writer Zora Neale Hurston gets personal about important factors of her life as a woman of color, her culture, her relation with society and her experience with racism. She was a fan of Jazz music, and not only that but she passionately dances it. Having into consideration the important role this genre has had, in the history of equality, music and black culture, it is only understandable.

Answer 2

In jazz club, Hurston felt the music and danced, and other didn't. White people only hear the music they do not have the emotional response that Hurston does. Unlike Hurston, white people do not feel the music throughout their bodies.
