Throughout the book, a big theme in the story is without a thought having a voice. From an early age, her voice was ignored or shut down by many people. She didn't have the strength to speak up for herself and did what other people told her to do. In class we learned about Self Reliance and how it told us to "Be yourself; no base imitator of another". Because she followed what other people told her to do she became unhappy and ran away multiple times. But once she found Tea Cake who had no money, she felt happy because he valued what Janie says.

and heaving from the effort of spinning his old carcass
about. Everybody was having fun at the mule-baiting. All but
Janie. (page 56)

"She went over to the dresser and look hard at her skin and features. The young girl was gone, but a handsome woman had taken her place. She tore off the kerchief from her head and let down her plentiful hair. The weight, the length, the glory was there". 87
