Journal #1-Their Eyes were Watching God

Janie is a very strong woman. She is able to deal with all the things the other women in her town say and think about her. She is also able to deal with Tea Cake's death surprisingly well being that Tea Cake was her life. She also has nothing to hide from anyone as long as they are willing to ask. She also enjoys living life to the most she possibly can. "Ah been a delegate to de big 'ssociation of life... de big convention of livin' is just where Ah been" This quote shows directly Janie's personality of living life.  The narrator seems to have a strong opinion about women and what they are like. It seems that she doesn't think women are capable of doing anything but judging others. "It was a weapon against her strength and if it turned out of no significance, still it was a hope that she might fall to their level some day." This shows that the women only look to tear Janie, or others that aren't the same, down. They do this through what they say. "They made burning statements with questions, and killing tools out of laughs. It was mass cruelty." The narrator has this strong view against women and how they are against each other and only concerned with problems and bad things.
