<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>
I think she means that you'll always be your true self, but some people just try to take that away from you. I relate to this because I want to be my true self, but sometimes people get in the way of me trying to be myself.
