She explains him as being invinsible with a certain eerie, quiet personality. Janie asks herself "What need has death for a cover, and what winds can blow against him?" (84). Death is watchful and seems almost eager for the next chance at doing his job. She was worried she may find a trace of him soon because Jody's life is coming to an end. ]]> 2019-03-12 13:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340382729 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383286 She personifies Death and speaks of "him" as an observant. He simply picks up people that are dying in our world. In his world though, it is simply "their time". Janie describes Death as "watchful" (84) and "motionless" (84). Jody is dying, and Death is simply the one to pick him up. Janie doesn't blame Death, but resents him slightly. "[Death had] been standing there before there was a where or a when or a then" (84).]]> 2019-03-12 13:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383286 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383549 She portrays him as somewhat of a god, that looms over all. With feathers or wings and a sword ready to bring death to whoever "Stands watchful abd omtionless all day with his sworddrawn back, waiting for the messenger to bid him come"(84). Jody is dying from medical problems involving his kidney. ]]> 2019-03-12 13:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383549 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383660 From page 84 we know that Janie has a very unique way of looking at death. She personifies death and makes it into a person who lives in a house and waits for his next death. Janie describes him as living in the west in a straight house with no roof. This immovable object she says, waits with a sword ready to hear from a messenger for someones time. She declares that she is aware of this and believes he will visit Jody soon, "She was liable to find a feather from his wings lying in her yard any day now" (84). ]]> 2019-03-12 13:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383660 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383723 Janie describes Death like a person. She describes him as a "strange being with the huge square toes that lived in the west" (84). She also says that "he stands in his high house that overlooks the world...stands watchful and motionless all day" (84). She describes him as lonely and waiting for someone to die so he can do his job. Jody is the one that is dying and Janie doesn't seem like she fears death. She speaks about it normally, like you would speak about a friend.]]> 2019-03-12 13:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383723 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383823 Janie describes Death as a person, "that strange being with the huge square toes who lived way in the West"(84). She also describe Death as someone who is waiting for someone so he can go do his job.]]> 2019-03-12 13:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340383823 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384112 Janie began to describe death as somewhat of a person or even God. Janie said, "He stands in his high house with his high house that overlooks the world"(84). In this quote, Janie gives death a God like personality of watching over the world. Also Janie talks about how death sits in his house all day with his sword drawn back and just waiting to take a life of someone.]]> 2019-03-12 13:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384112 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384133 Janie describes death as "that strange being with the huge square toes who lived way in the West. The great one who lived in the straight house like a platform without sides to it, and without a roof" (84). In this chapter, the person who is dying is Joe Starks. Janie feels that death is inevitable for all, and that nobody, not even Joe, can avoid it, even though they believe they can overcome it.]]> 2019-03-12 13:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384133 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384320 She describes Death as a person. She describes him as someone who "Stands watchful and motionless all day with his sword drawn back" (84). Death is always there watching and standing there waiting for something to happen. In this case Death could be waiting on Joe Starks. He is waiting there for his time to come. ]]> 2019-03-12 13:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384320 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384642 On page 84, Janie talks about death. she talks about death in a different way. She talks about how this man is waiting for someone to die so he can go on and live his life. The man who is dying in this chapter in Joe Starks,so obviously her defintion of death has something do with Joe.]]> 2019-03-12 13:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384642 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384919 Janie saw death as a person who she didn't quite know as in "who lived way in the west" She describes him as a watcher always watching over waiting to come and he ends up coming for Jody when he dies. ]]> 2019-03-12 13:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340384919 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340388298 Janie describes death as "The great one who lived in the straight house like a platform without sides to it, and without a roof. This quote is calling death all powerful and I believe that the straight house symbolizes heaven. The person who is dying is Jody. Janie is very unfamiliar with death and the thought of it scares her a lot. She doesn't know how to face death or how to act at the thought of it. To her death is this mysterious, evil thing that she's about to have to face for the first time.]]> 2019-03-12 13:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340388298 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340388601 Instead of describing death as an occurrence she instead describes it as a “him” giving death human like qualities. “Death, that strange being with the huge square toes who lived way in the west”(84) She describes death in a ton of detail and personifies him as this figure waiting to come down at any moment that he is needed. He seems to watch everything  and is always there in the background waiting to take action. She also says he left signs, “she was liable to find a feather from his wings lying in her yard any day now” (84)]]> 2019-03-12 13:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340388601 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340389046 2019-03-12 13:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340389046 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340390592 2019-03-12 13:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340390592 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340394383 2019-03-12 13:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/bbrev7gpejc6/wish/340394383
