She even describes herself as being, "beaten down by the wheels"  (pg 76). All her life people (Grandmother and Jody) were trying to push onto her their views on life. They thought that by limiting Janie's voice, they could convince her that life was about making the most money, having the best things, and having security. All Janie ever wanted was to find true love and experience life to the fullest. Similar to Thoreau, Janie wants to "front only the essential facts of life“ because she "wished to live deliberately." ]]> 2017-01-11 16:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1863002/7hch9mio76ad/wish/146559429 1863002 https://padlet.com/1863002/7hch9mio76ad/wish/146560539  I'm crying, and I say to Grandma that "I want things sweet wid mah marriage lak when you sit under a pear tree and think."
