Scene: tea cake

a scene that i feel has great importantce to this part of the book is the scene when tea cake is introduced. all of a suddden you can tell that janie andd him get along very well. after janie first met with tea cake she sort of put of a wall against him because she found herself liking him alot and she did not want that to happen. though, as time progressed she began to become quite fond of tea cake. Tea cake is a man with no money, no really high important job, and most of all no special social class. she is very intrugied by tea cake becasue he counts her as an equal and that was the first thing that attracked her to him right of the bat. janie has come from to completely oppisite marriges, first a hard ass who expected work out of her as if she was mule, then somebody who treated her like a trophy wife and would not let her do anything but sit and be admired. tea cake is just a normal guy who is loving and hey may not be the richest or the most popular but he treats her like an equal and is genuinly kind.

scene

the scene or topic in this book so far that has some meaningful value is when the men are outside the store talking about the mule that was not doing much work and fought back when tied to a plow and it was not getting fed enough. i think that the mule is a symbolization for Julie. with julies first husband he asked alot of her and she pushed back alot and did not to all the work that he expected her to do. when the men are talking about the mule because the mule ran away, just like julie. also, joe bought the mule and then let it sit around becasue it was working to hard. it looks like joe has a knack for that. the mule ended up dying around the same time that julie starts to get a little antsy and does not like the way joe is condecending (vocab word) to her.

their eyes quote response

for my quote response i did quote #2.
this quote is significant to this part of the book becaue it is when janie is reflecting on her child hood. she has been going though a rough patch in her life with her significant other. she goes back to her happy and sad child hood memories. she subconciously connects these feelings of lonleyness because of tea cake leaving to those of when she was a child and she first found out she was black and how all her black freinds made fun of her because she was hanging out with white kids. she creates this picture that is a product of all these memories. a dream.

emily dickinson

due to the passages i have read i would not call emily dickinson a trancenedentalist writer. she has very insighful thoughts about nature and the human mind but i do not think that she has the same feal as the transendentalists do. She has a more harsh tone to her, speaking about "funeral in my brain" and "my letter to the world that never wrote to me". my favorite poem in this set is the last one, xvii, she talks about how she has never seen the sea but she still knows about it. this is a metaphor for how just because people cant see things doesnt mean that they know nothing about it. i do not think that dickinson is a trancendentalist but she does have some very valuable insights on life.

"and to such as it is to be of these more or less i am, and of these one and all i weave the song of myself"-the whole entire had me very very confused but this last sentence ties it all together in a way that clears up my confusion. the whole entrie is talking about different people doing different things, dind the end i came to the conclusion that these were people that he had come in contact with one way or another that had an impact on him that helped shape him because in the end in the last sentence he pretty much says these things make up me.

"in the past and present wilt-i have filled them,emptied them.and proceed to fill my next fold dof the future" - i like this quote because in my words it says, ive have done all that i need to do with the past and present and now i need to focus on the future, i like the idea of keeping your head facing forward and never looking back.

"I bequeath myself to the dirt and grow from teh grass i love, if you want me again look for me under your boot-soles"-this is my favorite quote from these three selections. this is talking about how he is going to biodegrade into and become a part of the world he loves in a very literal sense.

"i should be pleasedd to meet a man in the woods i wish he were to be encountered like a wild caribous mouse'"-this quote is completely beyond me and i have absolutely not idea what he is talking about. usually i am into insightful things like this but i feel that this quote reallly describes these journal entries, confusing random thoughts.
the rest of these entires have not changed, boring, random, the usuall
