Words, Words, Words "Don't judge a book by its cover" is a turn of phrase which cautions one to truly know and understand a person before passing judgment upon them. In literature, this is the duty of the author: to introduce his or her readers to the characters; to let the readers get inside the heads of the characters and see the world from their perspective.

To me the statement, “be in control of your judgments” means the same as the statement, “I have control of my own heart beat,” which is impossible. My judgments are my own and it’s unique.
Klejsierta Xhumari “If you prize your memories as they are, by all means avoid-eschew-writing a memoir” Annie Dillard (292). In this quote Dillard is trying to tell you that in a memoir writers change their real memories and make something new to make it more interesting for the reader. If you think that your memories have a big value and are significant for you than you should not write a memoir. Even though it may not be your intention to change them, but when you try to put them in a piece of paper it will become something that didn’t happen before but is all in a writers head or imagination. Dillard says that the work replaces the memories and you are going to lose those memories (292).
Janie finds her voice even though she goes though hard times such as Zora. Like Janie, Zora revealed the importance it is in becoming independent and not having to depend on others for help.
