1. I think Hurston chose the title Their Eyes Were Watching God becuase of the effect it creates. It makes it seem like everyone watches God, but can't do anything about the things he does. God has ultimate power over everyone in the world. It seems to give the effect of God having power over the people in the world. It can change how you read by noticing the constant struggles with God through out the story.
2. I think she could have used the title God and His People. This title has a better feeling between God and everyone he rules over. It seems less like God is a bad person and instead is a fair God. Which is what Hurston tries to show through Janie as she develops through the story.
3. My pastiche is called "The Ways of the Game". I think this is the strongest title because it is about children playing kickball. There are two different captains for the teams and one is focused and the other is care free and has fun. One of the characters finds that the fun team is what she truly wants over winning.
