        <description><![CDATA[This is a very profound question and speaks to the heart of the novel.  A lot of the answer can be found in the first few chapters of the book.  Janie contemplates her womanhood while sitting under the pear tree.  She is waiting for the other half of herself, the missing piece, the bee to her flower.  She is, in essence, looking for love throughout the novel.
Her first husband offers her none of that.  He is old, and though in his own way...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Essentially, the townspeople want to know where Janie has been and how she came to be back in Eatonville.  They are a nosey bunch, used to knowing the goings-on with everyone in the town.  Since Janie left Eatonville amid a bit of a scandal, they can't wait to find out what has brought her back home.  Seeing her "made them remember the envy they had stored up from other times."  They wonder aloud:

        <description><![CDATA[Saul's daughter Michal first married David but then had a falling out with him over family matters, left him and married another man. David went after her, though, and forced her to come back in spite of the protestation and weeping of her present husband.
Micah seemed to never be fully reconciled to David as later it is recounted that she "despised him in her heart" when he was worshipping God, even dancing in joy. But let it also be said...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the first few decades of her life, Janie is controlled by forces beyond herself, most notably her grandmother and Logan Killicks. Yet when Joe Starks comes along, she makes the choice to leave with him, &amp; begin her life anew in a different town. This is the first step toward developing her own life.
Yet she soon finds out that she is no better off, &amp; in fact, she must separate her true self from her social self. She wears a mask for...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I don't mean to be rude by disagreeing with the previous teacher's post, but she is incorrect.  Tea Cake does not use the 200 dollars gambling.
Upon arriving in Jacksonville we learn that Janie has stashed about 200 dollars inside her shirt in case Tea Cake turns out to be a creep and she needs to get home without him.  Call it "jerk insurance."  She doesn't think she'll need it, but she has been reminded of a story about a lady named Mrs....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In "Their Eyes Were Watching God," Janie is ostensibly telling the story to her best friend, Pheoby Watson.  The two have not seen each other in quite some time, and Janie not only tells Pheoby the story of where she has been for the last few years, but also the story of her childhood and how she came to be the woman she developed into.
Pheoby learns an awful lot about Janie...she learns that Janie is a resilient and dynamic woman who spent...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[He took her money and went away to go gambling.  It may not be specifically mentioned in the passage you read because we find out later on how it was spent.  He used her money, gambled, won quite a bit with that as his "starter fund" and then told her to put it away because "they wouldn't be living off her dead husband's money" and he wanted to be the one to provide for his wife.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The name of the town to which Jody and Janie moved is Eatonville, Florida.
Joe Starks is an ambitious black man who has "been workin' for white folks all his life".  He had always wanted to be "a big voice", but wherever he has gone, it is the white people who "had all the sayso".  Joe, who likes to be called Jody, has saved up some money, "round three hundred dollars".  He has heard about a place where they are "makin' a town all outa...]]></description>
