After coming home she felt comfortable and peaceful in the empty house as she remembered all the wonderful times shared with Tea Cake here. https://nowcomment.com/documents/191856?scroll_to=1816764 https://nowcomment.com/documents/191856?scroll_to=1816764 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 10:49:46 -0400 The meaning of the work as a whole is that one should not follow the directions of others but to instead find happiness and fulfillment in what satisfies them. This can be seen through Janies past failed marriages and eventually discovering true love. https://nowcomment.com/documents/191856?scroll_to=1816763 https://nowcomment.com/documents/191856?scroll_to=1816763 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 10:46:19 -0400 The men do not only carry these objects but they carry the emotional burden and hardships of being in the war. https://nowcomment.com/documents/191863?scroll_to=1790918 https://nowcomment.com/documents/191863?scroll_to=1790918 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 16:54:24 -0400 Jimmy was able to realize Martha was a distraction to him and ultimately played a part in Lavenders death. https://nowcomment.com/documents/191863?scroll_to=1790887 https://nowcomment.com/documents/191863?scroll_to=1790887 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 16:52:12 -0400 Describes the men not by their personalities but by what they bring with them and cherish during this horrific time of war. https://nowcomment.com/documents/191863?scroll_to=1790878 https://nowcomment.com/documents/191863?scroll_to=1790878 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 16:46:41 -0400 Janie became self-conscious, thinking how embarrassing it would be to return to town when she thought Tea Cake had left her, Janie had never shown self consciousness before this situation, what do you think changed her demeanor? https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1789411 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1789411 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 11:18:28 -0400 Helps establish the role of feminism in this era. Girls and even married women were not allowed to express their wishes and were surpressed of their thoughts. https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1789358 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1789358 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 11:07:27 -0400 Janie at first seemed to instantly acknowledge her previous fears and Pheobys comments that Tea Cake was no good and he was just using her for the money and credit. After becoming distraught over her loss of money and Tea Cake, Tea Cake returned and she https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783950 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783950 became more open with her current financial status. She also seemed proud and become protective over Tea Cake at this time as he was putting himself in dangerous gambling situations to make even more money. Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:01 -0400 Tea Cake involves Janie in his everyday life, treating her as an equal. Unlike Jody who pushed Janie into the store and only let her do tasks "fit for a women" Tea Cake brings her hunting and fishing, giving her the independence she's always wanted. https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783921 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783921 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 20:43:59 -0400 I think Janie doesn't necessarily hate her grandmother, more of hating the way her grandmother raised her to go for wealthy men and marriage instead of following her own desires and dreams. I think Janie hold a lot of regret over some of her decisions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1759884 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1759884 If she wouldn't have listened to nanny her life may have been different and more fulfilling to her. Thu, 02 Apr 2020 15:13:57 -0400 The questions really bring out an agitated and confused tone in the stanza. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1758968 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1758968 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 12:33:50 -0400 The head seems to be speaking for the ugliness of the act committed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1758961 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1758961 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 09:59:59 -0400 Right after Jody had passed away, Janie removes her head rag. What is the significance of this act? https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1742951 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1742951 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 15:11:29 -0400 Jody requiring Janie to keep her hair up shows his control and power over her. He did not want other men attracted to her so he used the head rags to have full control. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1742929 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1742929 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 09:59:58 -0400
