Chapter 3

“You, come heah wid yo’ mouf full of foolishness on uh busy day” (Chapter 3, pg. 23)

This quote was said by nanny because Janie came in upset. So nanny told her to come and talk to her because they were both going through sort of the same thing. So she was trying to help her because it was too much going on in one day.

“Ah wants things sweet wid mah marriage lak when you sit under a pear tree and think. Ah….” (Chapter 3, pg.23)

Joe Starks was doing the same thing that Janie was doing in the beginning of the story. And that was planning his life out before it actually happened. He was telling the people how his dream marriage would turn out. Not all the time do these plans turn out the way you would want them to but it never hurts to dream.
