Part 3: What is the title of your pastiche and why do you think that is the strongest possible title?
1.) I think that Zora Neale Hurston settles on the title because it clearly shows that there will be a strong allusion to God which will make the theme be emphasized even more. It gives the role as God as a higher power and "they" as the weaker power being aware of His control. I think that "they" are constantly watching God to make sure "their" power is checked in the right place. Also since there is a lot of power struggles, "they" meaning the town or the community is always in look of a higher power which would be God.
2.) Another title could have been Ships at a Distance. This would have altered one's reading because it would put the emphasis on the motif of dreams and eventually the first page of the book would have been an extended metaphor. This title would have been tied in as well the the symbol of water.
3.) The title of my pastiche is Clay and the Artist. I think that this is a strong possible title because in my story, Alex the main character is being molded like clay into what her mother wants her to be. So the artist in the title would represent the molder which in this case is the mother Sarah.
