“Janie loved the conversation and sometimes she thought up good stories on the mule, but Joe had forbidden her to indulge. He didn’t want her talking after such trashy people.” (Chapter 6, pg. 67)
This meant that Janie was a nice person but since she was married that all changed. Joe Starks wanted her to act like a mayor’s wife. He wanted Janie to seem like she was better than the others. But she really didn’t want to act like that.
“Somebody got to think for women and chillun and chickens and cows. I god, they sure don’t think none their selves.” (Chapter 6, pg. 67)
This quote meant a lot to me as a person. Because the world we live in today, you have no choice but to live for someone else. Whether it’s your family, a friend, a neighbor or ECT. And that’s what is happening in this book, she was living not only for herself but others a well.
