<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>

Answer:
C) The author tells about seeing Russell as a grown-up and accepting him as is. That is the detail that best explains how the author develops the theme over the course of the text. In ¨About Russell¨ the author starts describing how his brother used to be as they were children and continues describing how he gradually changed as they grew up. She had a vision for what her brother would become which was different from what he actually became. But by the end of the text she states that a ¨A grown man, Russell simply will not do what he doesn’t want to¨. That indicated that he could not be forced to change and therefore she accepted him as he was indicated by the statement ¨...my family simply accepts him as is¨
