One should detail your metaphor, the other should be your reaction to the end of the novel. en-us 2019-03-25 18:53:52 UTC 2019-03-26 13:15:01 UTC hello@padlet.com harryox2003 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345227270 "Because they really loved Janie just a little less than they had loved Tea Cake, and because they wanted to think well of themselves , they wanted their hostile attitude forgotten(190)". 
Explanation- after Tea Cake passes, this says how they cared for their dear friend Tea Cake so much that they would keep the guy that had been trying to hook up with janie away from her and unleash their anger on him. 

The ending was sad because she loses the one person she actually loves in her life out of all the people she married.

Janie is comparing death to a human. The one with the square toes is death or at least the personified version of it. In this quote Janie is telling the reader that death has left, people have already died so death is gone. This quote can be seen as ironic because Tea Cake and Janie survived the actual storm but they didn't survive the aftermath. 

Now the end of the book. Personally I think it was terrible, one of the worst endings I've ever read. This isn't because Tea Cake died, I have absolutely no compassion for any of the characters in this book. It is because of Janie. Instead of moving on with her life, she went back to a place where she was unhappy.  The ending was both rushed and drawn out and didn't really do anything. She just ended up back where she started.

"And then again Him-with-the-square-toes had gone back to his house" (168). This was a common metaphor throughout the book and a very interesting was to refer to death. He was given the human characteristic and was similar but also very different to us. When the hurricane came he waited for his job.

I felt kind of sad at the end of the book and it was a very sad ending I thought. They were so in love and what ended up having to happen was very unfortunate. Pheoby being there at the end for her after everything she had been through at the end of the day was really good. She was a true friend that Janie definitely deserved. I expected Tea Cake to die but not in that way. Janie should not have had to do that and it was very shocking to me]]> 2019-03-26 13:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345228627 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345228700 The metaphor that I choose throughout the last two chapters was, "Love is lak de sea. It's uh movin' thing but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and its different with every shore"(191). This metaphor stood out to me because it was what Janie believed love to be. Janie compared love to the sea. Janie said that love is like the sea and is different with every shore. 
Their Eyes Were Watching God had a good ending in my opinion. I did not really enjoy the beginning of the book but at the end I started to really understand the book and I enjoyed the ending. I expected Tea Cake to die at the end of the book because of his rabies but I never would of thought that Janie would have had to shoot her love, Tea Cake. This took an unexpected turn for me because Janie really found someone she love but had to kill him. Even after that Janie was sent to trail for the murder of Tea Cake but was found to be protecting herself.]]> 2019-03-26 13:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345228700 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345228906 Chapter 19 opened up with a metaphor that said "And then again him with the square toes had gone back to his house" (168) The one with the squared toes is talking about death. It means death. Janie is saying that death is here or death is gone. Death was brought up multiple times in the story. Janie compared death to Tea Cake. 

At the end of the book i was actually really sad, because Janie finally found someone that she really loved and then bang..... I didn't really enjoy the beginning of the book but when is started getting juicy i really payed attention. I defineltly was not expecting the book to end like that so it surprised me. ]]> 2019-03-26 13:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345228906 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345230194 The metaphor I chose was, " And then again Him-with-the-square-toes had gone back to his house" (168). Death in this book is brought up commonly. Many died in this back and it says that death had left. 
At the end of the book it was sad, all the other people Janie married never died but when he finally found a person she likes he dies. It was unexpected that he was shot by her.]]> 2019-03-26 13:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345230194 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345233712 The metaphor I'm going to use is "And then again Him-with-the-square-toes had gone back to his house" (168). This metaphor is about death, him coming and taking Tea Cake after Janie shot him. This metaphor also brings the book full circle, in the beginning of the story Janie is telling phoebe about what happened and in the end she returns to that same place, almost like Janie is returning to her house, as death is described as doing. I think the end of the book makes sense, every man Janie was with hurt her and ended up leaving her in some way, so it was almost expected that something would happen to Tea Cake. Obviously her shooting him was a very sad way for him to die but it was either her or him and she chose to kill him instead of let him kill her. She ended up going home and escaping the pressure, the hardship and pain of the town she had lived in and become a part of for most of her adult life. Her returning home was almost like her giving up on love and just accepting the fact that she was going to be alone and not live her dream life like she always wanted. ]]> 2019-03-26 13:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345233712 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345233747 “Then Tea Cake came prancing around her where she was and the song of the sigh flew out of the window and lit in the top of the pine trees. Tea Cake, with the sun for a shawl. Of course he wasn’t dead. He could never be dead until she heralded has finished feeling and thinking” (193). This could be a bunch of different literary devices but it is definitely a metaphor for the way she feels about Tea Cake. Even though he did die his memory will forever live on in her heart and she sees him in even the littlest of things. His memory is always around her and that is something that will never burn out. 

The ending of the book I think was beautiful and the way that Zora Neale Hurston hinted at all of these things through extended metaphors is fascinating. I think that it was a good way to end it especially when she brought it all back to Phoebe like how it started in the beginning. It shows how much she really cared for Tea Cake and I just really love that she used so much to show how is memory will forever be in her heart. The frame story was a very clever way of capturing her entire life story, but as past events that she is just retiterating as a story to her friend. If you really think about the whole book was just her returning home and telling her friend about her life, but inside of that so much had happened and I just think it is truly amazing the way Zora was able to do that. ]]> 2019-03-26 13:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345233747 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345233996 At the end of chapter twenty Janie seems to be lost in thought and drifting mindlessly. At the end of the book it said “ She pulled in her horizon like a great fish net” (193).  Janie is pulling all the memories she had of her and Teacake and draping them over herself, reminiscing over the past. She is at peace. 
             I enjoyed the last few pages of the the book. Janie deserves to be a peace because her life has been a series of roller coaster rides that took a toll on her. She accomplished her dream of being able to experience love and springtime despite it ending. ]]> 2019-03-26 13:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/z3qy7pg484lr/wish/345233996
