Alex: you can find lots of information on Janie and Logans relationship before chapter 5

# data[].attributes.body
Alex: I would focus on the beginning of chapter 10 when she is starting to love Tea Cake and how that impacted her thoughts on a relationship and her regrets she had with her past ones

# data[].attributes.body
Danny: I would say talk about 96-end of chapter 10 has a lot of really good quotes about how Janies relationship with Tea Cake was much improved in comparison to her other ones.

# data[].attributes.body
Diego: I would say that you you could talk about on page 13 where Nannie suggests for Janie to marry Logan Killicks because there are several quotes that support your claim.

For my project, I will make a drawing of the most important words in the book as Janie's hair.

Alex- I would look on page 173, for her first reaction of the everglades, start of chapter 14. This also works for Diego.

# data[].attributes.body
Alex: you should look at chapter 14 for quotes related to Janie  having more freedom in the everglades. This is the chapter when she arrives there and she talks a lot about why she likes it there.

Great suggestion Maya!

Kenzie - I think that's a great idea and this quote would go perfect with your idea "She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bee, the gold of the sun, and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her.  She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight.  So this was a marriage!"  (Hurston 11)

Diego, I know where you can find a character who has a big influence of Janie at the bottom of page 98.

Danny: One piece of advice for you be to focus on the parts where Joe Starks ridicules Janie and hits her.

Christina, I think you should really emphasize on how you said "if you would call it that." I think it'd be really interesting to see evidence on how her "love" isnt love.

to sydney, I think that the quote"The familiar people and things had failed her so she hung over the gate and looked up towards the road way off. She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie's first dream was dead, so she became a woman." ( page 25). this is taking about how she isn't happy in her first marriage and she is following through for the sake of theres

Maya - For my project, I made a slide show and I focused on the symbols from the book. I also used pictures I took to represent and give a visual image in the person's head. I also used quotes and explained why I chose those and gave my opinion on what I thought it meant.

# data[].attributes.body
Danny: I am writing an essay about Janie trying to find the right person and how her old relationships weren't the best.

# data[].attributes.body
My essay will be about the three marriages of no freedom and the roles that Janie will learn in her freedom and how most of her freedom was in the Everglades.

# data[].attributes.body
Christina: I am writing an essay about Janie and all three of her loves. I will be talking a little bit about here love for each of them (if you wold call it that). But the essay will be about her growth through the book and how she excepts herself a little bit at a time.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to write an essay for my final about how Janie goes on a journey for The Perfect Man.

# data[].attributes.body
I am planning on doing a data analysis about how the symbols and names are used through out the book. For example, how often does the word tree show up, and how often is Tea Cake named. All of this together, and I will write about how it changes as Janie matures through out the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to write an essay and I think my statement will be about how Janies perceptions of love influenced her decisions throughout her life.

I am going to write an essay for my final project about which characters in the book had the biggest influence of Janie.

Oliver: I think you should refer to the series of quotes at the bottom of (pg.95) where tea cake teaches Janie to play checkers. From "So what you gointuh do now? All de cars in Eatonville is gone", through "Dis is de last day for dat excuse. You got uh board round heah?" The appreciation Janie shows reveals how little Janie's previous husbands did for her and how they didn't care about her happiness. -Sydney

Hi Emma, very cool--consider some of the symbols of evolution in the book...like the vultures in the mule funeral scene on page 61--symbol of the cycle of life, and very strange ones as well!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Lauren, cool idea! Check out the quote I suggested to Sydney, I think it is relevant to your topic as well!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Sydney, good idea--check out obviously page 128 where Janie realy falls in love with TC: "Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her sould crawled out from her hiding place." What I think is most interesting however is how, just before that quote, Tea Cake says, "Ah don't need no assistance to feed mah woman...when Ah don't get nothin, you don't git nothin." And Janie seems ok with this old-fashioned gender dynamic...so there's some complexity there.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Sierre, cool idea--check out page 185 where Hurston describes how everyone in the Everglades knew how deep the relationship between TC and Janie was: "Who didn't know about the love between Tea Cake and Janie?"

# data[].attributes.body
Cool idea McKenzie--think about too how Janie has a lamp that she carries herself up the stairs on page 192: "The light in her hand was like a spark of sun-stuff washing her face in fire." Before in the book, light is always held up or created by either God or by men, like Joe Starks, who gets the street-light for Eatonville on page 45. So light is another symbol too you could add if you liked.

Hi Gabby, great idea! Definitely consider how Logan Killick's farm is described as a 'stump'  on page 21. And the contrast between that, and the lush, glorious Everglades of Tea Cake's world, which could be interpreted as a stand-in for the Garden of Eden

# data[].attributes.body
HI Michael, good idea; consider looking at page 75 which is a good example of Janie, for the first time, trying to tell a story of her own and getting shut down by Joe Starks: "Janie did what she had never done before, that is, thrust herself into the conversation...'you gettin too moufy, Janie" Starks told her. "Go fetch me de checker board..." (75)

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Henry, nice idea. The mule is interesting because it is seen both as a representation of Janie--as when Janie's Nanny tells here that she is one of "mules of the world" on page 14.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Trey, good idea. Check out the last page of the book for a good summary of how Janie is finally fulfilled; the symbol of the horizon that appears there is especially helpful to quote.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Oliver, good idea. Check out page 113 where Janie talks about why she is willing to take. a chance with Tea Cake: "It (marriage) always changes folks, and sometimes it brings out dirt and meanness dat eve de person didn't know they had in 'em theyselves...Maybe Te Cake might turn out like dat. Maybe not. Anyhow Ah'm ready and willin tuh try 'im." (113)

Sierre: I'm going to make a creative project maybe showing how each of Janie's marriages have affected her.

Micaheal F- A quote that could help you is "She tore off the kerchief from her head and let down her plentiful hair. The weight, the length, the glory was there" on page 87 because it shows her learning about and appreciating herself once Jody died and that relationship was officially over. - gabby n

Gabby:  "all of whom decide to remain in the muck despite the oncoming hurricane", the everglades going from a peaceful place to a hurricane coming could be compared to tea cake becoming violent and eventually going crazy

Henry I think you should look at chapter 6 (page 51) for the due reference of how the townspeople always fun of Matt bonners sad/tired looking mule.

I'm going to do a creative project (drawing) to represent how Jamies perception of herself changed through out the novel and her different marriages. I might uses the pear pear tree as symbolism for Jamies growth.

To Sydney, refer to chapter 3 with the quote Janie's first dream was dead, so she became a woman.
This references to her marriage with Logan Killicks. Might help you with understanding what she went through and what she learned about herself
