My dream is to go to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and major in Motion Picture and Television. The annual budget for an undergraduate student is around $31,000.

My parents make a little over $100,00 annually, but they have told me that they cannot afford to pay for much of my college. In between scholarships, grants, work-study and small student loans, would it be entirely unrealistic of me to raise enough money each year.

I am incredibly uncertain about the scholarship scene, how easy it is to win money, and whether or not it could cover a fraction of the costs. My dream is to attend this school, and I would be willing to do whatever it took to accomplish my goal.

I’ve gained an impressive collection of bookmarks to scholarship searching websites, but I’m looking for a real-world answer. Thanks!

You will have the most luck at scholarships going directly to this school and asking them. Because of your parents high income, I doubt you would qualify for grants or work study at any school.

I also worry that most outside sources of scholarships will not be impressed with your school choice the "Academy of Art" does not exactly scream Academia. Sorry – just real world answer and option for all it’s worth. Have at least 5 schools with varying degrees of cost if you can’t come up with scholarships that will go anywhere and not just the school that issues them. Make sure you list state schools as well if your folks aren’t going to help you.

Also a word of warning about an expensive school like this, even if you do manage to scrape together 30,000 for your first year, you will have to continue doing it for the next 3 years. Kids are sometimes so pleased they accomplished this the first year they forget they are going to have to keep doing it and drop out after a year or two for lack of funds… then they are a drop out with a debt of 60K and nothing to show for it but loan payments they can’t afford.

Jonah’s Gourd Vine: A Critical Analysis

Zora Neale Hurston was born in Eatonville, Florida. When Hurston turned

fourteen she left her hometown to work as a maid and traveled with Gilbert and Sullivan

theatrical troupe. She entered Howard University in 1923, and shortly after she published

her first short story in Stylus, which was the university literary magazine. After winning a

scholarship to Barnard College in New York City in 1925, she studied anthropology under

one of the most renowned anthropologists of the era Franz Boas. She continued her

studies with Boas after graduating in 1928 at Columbia University.

Being in New York and becoming involved in the Harlem Renaissance, she

established friendships with other important black authors and published short stories.

Hurston founded Fire!, with other black writers and Langston Hughes. She returned to

her hometown for folklore, after having the assistance of fellowships and a private grant

from a New York socialite interested in “primitive Negro art.”

The result of the anthropologic field that Hurston has, she wrote Mules and Men.

What the teller calls “lies“, is the folklore, which this story includes. Voodoo practices are

mentioned and described in the story. The information on folklore practices were praised

by critics of that time. Hurston’s first novel was Jonah’s Gourd Vine, which was

published in 1934, combined her knowledge of folklore and biblical themes.

John was an adopted son of a shift-less, scam-prone sharecropper that treated him

very well. His biological father was a white plantation owner, where he worked and

flourished. He was treated better with his adopted family than he was at his actual home.

It was made sure that John had new clothes and an education.

John became beyond his own control, and was compared to the gourd vine and

eventually withers like it in the end. He was young man who loved too many women for

his own good. Being a victim of this, he falls in love with a girl named Lucy and ends up

being with her for as long as they live. She was loyal to John even when he was unfaithful

to her. When he was being hot-headed, she was calm and patient with him and

understanding.

Eventually, John finds himself preaching at a Florida congregation, and despite his

indiscretions, he was doing a lot better than he thought. Even after becoming the popular

pastor of Zion Hope, his sermons and prayers for cleansing rouse the congregation’s

fervor where there, and then John has to confess that though he is a preacher on Sundays.

He considers himself as a sympathetic portrait of a man and his community.

In the future, John and Lucy have seven kids, and they live a happy life. Later in

life, Lucy dies and John is just like Jonah and his “protection shield” is down that she had

provided for him. John has realized that faith, tolerance, and good intentions cannot

resolve the tension between the spiritual and the physical.

What I should like to conclude wit is the hypothesis that one reason Zora Neale

Hurston was attracted to the scientific conceptualization of her racial experience during

the late twenties and early thirties was its prima facie offering of a structure for black

Folklore (Hemenway 212).

Unquestionably, Their Eyes Were Watching God is the prototypical Black novel of

affirmation; it is the most successful, convincing, and exemplary novel of Blacklove that

we have (Jordan 6-7).

It might first seem natural for a preacher’s daughter to meet up with emotional

difficulties when moving from Christianity to African derived Hoodoo (Southerland 25).

Here in [“Jonah’s Gourd Vine”] there springs, with validity and vitality a fresh

note which, to this commentator, is unique. As a matter of fact, not even excepting

Langston Hughes, it is doubtful if there is any literary precedent for the particular type of

accomplishment that characterizes “Jonah’s Gourd Vine.” (Hurst 7) The author’s

treatment of whites is as natural and without change of key as it would need to be if she is

to succeed in keeping universality the dominant note of her book (8).

“Jonah’s Gourd Vine” can be called without fear of exaggeration the most vital

and original novel about the American Negro that has yet been written by a member of the

Negro race. No amount of special knowledge of her subject, however, could have made

“Jonah’s Gourd Vine” other than a mediocre novel if it were not for Miss Hurston’s

notable talents as a storyteller (Wallace 6-7).
sorry. guess i didnt expect comments but uhm the paper isnt finished yett.duhh. thats whyy i saved it so i can print it off else where

Go ahead and save it. You will get a B-. You didn’t cite enough. There is alot of info in there that is obviously from a book with no reference to where it came from. Your MLA formatting is pretty bad. But you look like you tried, so unless your teacher is a dick you will get a High C or Low B.
