Jody was nice in the beginning, similar to how Logan was. However over time, he became more and more controlling over me. I have had enough.

Ah run off tuh keep house wid [him] in uh wonderful way.'" He felt that "' "'Mah own mind had tuh be squeezed and crowded out tuh make room for [his] in me.'" 86

The novel's point of view on voice is based around the development of one's very own. It is focused around Janie's experience of learning not to let anything muffle her opinions, but also knowing when to say certain things and when not to. We see a similar take on the theme of voice in Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." This is achieved via Biff developing his voice and standing up to the unrealistic dreams of his father:
"BIFF (crying, broken): Will you let me go, for Christ’s sake? Will
you take that phony dream and burn it before something happens?
(Struggling to contain himself, he pulls away and moves
to the stairs.)"
In this dramatic scene, we see a Biff that is finally able to confront his father on a topic that has seemingly bothered him for a long time. This is relatable to how Janie confronts other characters throughout the novel.

I remember when Joe died and thinking how "'Ah jus' love dis freedom."
My friend Phoebe told me to "'Sh-sh-sh! Don't let nobody hear you say dat!'" because Folks will say you ain't sorry he's gone, "
but I say, "'Let 'em say whut dey wants tuh, To my thinkin' mourning oughtn't tuh last no longer'n grief.'"

There were other times when I couldn't suppress my voice any longer. One day I had had enough. I turned to Jody in front of customers in the store and said, '"You big- bellies round here and put out a lot of brag, but ‘tain’t nothin to it but yo’ big voice. Humph! Talkin’ bout me lookin’ old! When you pull down yo’ britches, you look lak de change uh life.” (Hurston 79)

There are times in life that if you hold yourself back, dire consequences could ensue. This was one of those times. I looked at Tea Cake and decided to try one last time. "'Tea Cake, put down dat gun and go back tuh bed!'" After that, I knew it was no use. I pulled the trigger. "Tea Cake crumpled as his bullet buried itself in the joist over Janie's head." 184Dave Sutton
