Were Watching God Relationships

When jealousies arise through the flirtation of Nunkie, a girl who takes a liking to Tea Cake, Janie and Tea Cake fight but talk through and express their feelings over the flirtation to one another until each gives in and they become united once more (188–191). This jealousy is completely unlike Jody’s jealousy of men looking at Janie’s hair in the store; where Jody refuses to open up and explain his feelings to Janie because of his pride, Tea Cake and Janie are able to communicate their emotions to one another and resolve the tension. While her other two marriages were action based and emotional deaths of love, the pride that kills Janie’s third marriage is a physical death. Tea Cake pridefully refuses an offer to take Janie and escape from the Everglades before the hurricane comes upon them. Tea Cake tells ‘Lias, who has offered he and Janie a ride out of the Everglades “Man, de money’s too good on the muck.

ARGUMENT #2 Introduction Throughout the story, Hanan Shakyhs focuses on a dysfunctional family in the story “The Persian Carpet”. The child narrator claims that she has control of herself and the situation by stating that she fully knows herself; when in reality, she has forgotten her resolve and was anticipating the meeting with her mother by gladly stating that she would not give up hope on their relationship. However, the situation drastically changed when the narrator discovered the carpet that was laying on the floor which resulted the main character’s outrage. Moreover, she states that “Ilya was almost a blind man who used to go round of the houses of the quarter repairing cane chairs” (Hanan, 254).

Phoeby confirms to Janie that she is being gossiped about even though Janie tells her that it doesn’t really matter what other people think about her. Phoeby worries that “Tea Cake” took her money and found a younger girl. Janie rebukes this. However, she does tell Phoeby that “Tea Cake” is gone. “Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things done, and undone," and soon afterwards she notices a bee pollinating a flower and believes that this is representative of love.

I am glad Tea Cake cared but maybe beating up the brother would have been a more direct hint to stay away from his wife. Or possibly just having an adult conversation. Maybe even just locking the door so they could not come in. Anything but beating his wife. What was just as bad was that everyone praised him and were jealous of their relationship.

As we know, when Janie had to marry Logan she gets her dreams of a beautiful and happy marriage crushed. All the dreams she had for a happily ever after was washed away with marrying him “She knew now that marriage did not make love. / Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.”

These two sisters have grown together all through their life’s, creating a strong bound, and the fact that her family and a “old guy” is taking away her sister is something she can’t stand. In the end Nea believes that she is saving Sourdi from Mr.Chhay and her mother. However what Nea does not understand in all her youth and idealism , is that sourdi does not want to be saved: She willfully accepts her fate and her marriage to Mr.Chhay because she finds financial stability and a secure future.

As Lena and Harold are talking downstairs about “useless things”, the lyrics “I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited/ But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it” would be played as Ying-Ying St. Clair is thinking when she should reveal herself and tell her about her wisdom. The lines “sometimes is lasts in love but hurts instead”, could also be used to relate to how Lena and Harold were married happily first, but then over time it went downhill and started to “hurt” both of them. Ying-Ying’s

The Bennets were engaged to dine with the Lucases and again during the chief of the day was Miss Lucas so kind as to listen to Mr. Collins. Elizabeth took an opportunity of thanking her. ' It keeps him in good humour,' said she, 'and I am more obliged to you than I can express.' Charlotte assured her friend of her satisfaction in being useful, and that it amply repaid her for the little sacrifice of her time. This was very amiable, but Charlotte's kindness extended farther than Elizabeth had any conception of; its object was nothing else than to secure her from any return of Mr. Collins's addresses, by engaging them towards herself.

Of her fifth husband, she has much more to say. She loved him, even though he treated her horribly and beat her. He was coy and flattering in bed, and always won her back. Women, the Wife says, always desire what is forbidden them, and run away from whatever pursues or is forced upon

The sentence also brings up the meaning that Kenny 's girlfriend thinks Kenny messes up her and her girlfriends’ Valentine’ date, and she is not happy. On another side, when people is unsure about certain things, they tend to use powerless language to make a statement. One example from the television program about using powerless language is when Kenny is eating chocolates and talking his plan with ex - boyfriend, a girl asks Kenny’s girlfriend “Did his brother dump him, or did he die?”, and Kenny’s girlfriend replies “I don’t know, but he’s eating all of our chocolate.” (TV show). In this example, the phrase “I don’t know” is a common phrase for powerless language, and it reflects Kenny’s girlfriend is unsure to the question that the girl asks.

Their Eyes Were Watching God is concluded with Janie achieving peace and serenity. Considering her past experiences, this could very easily be considered growing and flourishing. Because of a white doctor, she was able to

Some amount of time after Joe dies, Janie marries Tea Cake and has, for the first time, a happy marriage. However, this marriage is still short-lived. Janie is forced to shoot her husband while he is under the influence of rabies in order to save herself. This later leads to a court case, which is the ultimate proving point of Janie's strongest powers: her will and choice. Janie's choice to not “plead to anybody” (Hurston 236) and to only say what she needed to proved her own power.

Not only does she have an unsuccessful marriage with Logan but she has a futile marriage with Jody Starks as well. At first Jody was the guy of Janie’s dreams. He was nice, articulate, intelligent, and said he would treat Janie like a queen and that working on a farm was no place for lady of her caliber. This enchants Janie and convinces her to run away with Jody. However when running away together Janie realizes Jody is not who he seems to be.

“Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things done and undone. Dawn and doom was in the branches” (Fitzgerald, 6). Life is a mirage of ups and downs and often the extent of these circumstances relies on reactions presented when the situation occurs. The use of voice can often completely change the outcome of an event. However, when one uses their voice depends on not only the internal confidence but also external factors that can influence the decision for the use of voice.

Janie Mae Crawford’s story is one of turmoil, and struggles. Janie wishes to live a fairytale life to make up for her troubled upbringing. While Nanny did raise Janie well, and tried to do what was best for her, it is still hard to go through life without your parents. Especially because Janie never really knew her father or her mother, she is trying to create this fairytale life for herself in order to do the opposite of what her parents have done. But because Janie is striving for this fairytale life, she will never be satisfied, because fairytales are not real.
