Janie Quotes About Hurricanes

125 Words1 Page

This quote is set during a hurricane. Everyone is trying persevere through this hurricane. This whole book is about hope, making it through your problems, and achieving your dreams. Which is said in the first paragraph of this book. It talks about the men achieving their dreams. This quote also relates to Janie and her three marriages. Out of all of them I believe this would connect to her second marriage, which was with Joe (Jody). I would say that this marriage showed Janie why hurricanes are named after people. Joe put Janie through so much, all because he wanted to keep his “Macho man” status among the men in Eatonville. In the end, Janie made it through and found love again with Tea Cake.

    Helen Keller once said "...although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it." This quotation means that in life, you come to find yourself in many struggles, but there is always a sense of accomplishment over such problems. The reason I agree with this quote is because such triumph can only be accomplished after the fact of the occurrence of a struggle. The realistic fiction book, Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, is a perfect example of my interpretation of the quote. The author uses conflict, figurative language and characterization to show that this quote is true.

    6. This quote directly shows the connection between the major ideas in this books and the small stories and pieces of text that are found within this book. In this quote, the author writes, “We are at our most perfect when we have something to push against.” This sentence relates to the bigger idea in the book that competition is a prerequisite to genius. When you are competing for something, you are always at full capacity because you have a desire to do something, something to work for. When you are in this state, genius has to have a better chance of popping through because genius is a showing of the best and brightest ideas that we have to offer and these ideas can really only be unlocked when we are putting forth our best effort, which is triggered by competition.

    Janie Takes a Stand At the end of chapter 6, Janie rebukes the men and her response not only highlights the gender inequality problem in the novel, but it also shows a major character development in Janie. Not only of what Janie says is startling, but the fact that she said something made me see Janie in a different perspective. Janie?s opening line, ? Sometimes God gits familiar wid us womenfolks too and talks His inside business?, caught my attention because her response is against societal norms.
