From Jaines hair to the Hurricane. For me I was able to point out those symbols and interpret them differently because each may have a different meaning. We had really good discussions which allowed me to think more about what really goes on in society today and back then. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232191848 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193261 We discussed Janie going out in public with a braid after end the chapter in her life with Joe where she wore a headwrap so men wouldn't look at her. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193261 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193320 We talked about Janie's hair and how it can be seen as a symbol of her freedom. We also talked about how her having to tie her hair up was oppressive.]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193320 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193731 We talked about how every time Janie was in a relationship, she then realized what she was missing. She didn't know she wanted to be treated as a "woman" with traditional feminine roles until she married Logan. She didn't know that she needed respect and adventure until she was married to Jody, who didn't give it to her. She did not know she needed independence until she lost tea cake. Every time she was with a man, she always sought out what she didn't have.]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193731 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193768 Janie's head rags represented the suppression that Joe gave her and when she burned all of them, she finally became free from that suppression.]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193768 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193808 Natural disasters or big events serve as a transition period into the rest of the book.

How Nanny believed that one should marry for the sake of protection and financial stability while Janie believed that it was for the sake of mutual love. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193893 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193940 Hair as a symbol in literature often has to do with freedom and liberation--Janie is just one specific example of that. Her destruction of her head rags were a very helpful and easily understandable symbol for me to keep track of what was going on in the book and in Janie's head despite the narration being in third person.]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232193940 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232194050 We discussed how Janie and Nanny have differing world views on love and marriage. Nanny views marriage as security, while Janie dreams of love in her marriage. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232194050 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232194906 Part of Janie's search for independence was finding someone to love. She knew what she wanted and she sought it out, and that desire was love. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232194906 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195023 We talked about Nanny and Janie's conflicting views over marriage. Nanny believed that Janie should get married for protection and stability, but Janie believed she should get married for true love and companionship.]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195023 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195385 We had a lot of discussion about symbols and other literary devices Hurston uses throughout the novel. The language that Hurston uses is really important to the story because it helps convey meaning. The use of southern African American dialect creates authenticity and the poetic language that the narrator uses enriches the story. One thing I enjoyed was looking at the novel in context of the time and author, and how Hurston addresses issues of the time. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195385 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195497 We talked about the mule representing Janie’s being mixed race. Mules also cannot reproduce and that can be compared to Janie because none of her partners are interested in having children with her, which sets Janie apart from many other women in literature.]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195497 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195570 We talked about the different endeavors that Janie went through and how they helped form her feminist identity and how she maintained that identity throughout the book. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195570 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195640 In this unit we have discussed the different interpretations we can take away from the pear tree in the beginning of the book. We have this idea that the pear tree symbolizes marriage, but it also has aspects of fertility to it, and can also be interpreted in views of accomplishment, hopes, dreams, etc.  ]]> 2021-02-23 16:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232195640 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232197169 We talked a lot about how Janie's view of love and marriage changes as she experiences different relationships. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232197169 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232198531 In this unit, we have discussed the real importance of symbols and gender roles through Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Additionally, we saw how Janie could be disempowered through sexual stereotyping and empowered through independence.]]> 2021-02-23 16:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232198531 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232200219 We talked about symbols of sexuality and love in the book. ]]> 2021-02-23 16:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232200219 https://padlet.com/madeleine_sparrow/hjux63yc6eql9rw6/wish/1232200358 We talked about how Janie had to work to become her own independent person.
