<em>"John Redding Goes to Sea" </em>is a short story written by the American author Zora Neale Hurston and published in 1921. In the story, the protagonist John Redding is an ambitious dreamer who wants to leave his hometown to explore the unknown but many events stop him to fulfill his dream.
The statement that best supports the idea that the author was an independent woman who longed to escap her small hometown is the following:
<em> "Pa, when ah gets as big as you Ah'm goin' farther than them ships. Ah'm goin' to where the sky touches the ground."</em>
"O, never/Shall sun that morrow see!" means "The morning when Duncan leaves here will never come, because we're going to kill him tonight." "Your face, my thane, is as a book where men/May read strange matters" means "By looking at your face, everybody can see what you're thinking." The rest of the speech means "To fool everybody, you have to behave the way everybody expects you to behave. You have to make sure that the way you look, the way you act, and the way you talk all seem to be giving Duncan a friendly welcome. You have to seem harmless even though you are secretly deadly."
