Quote:
"It was after the picnic that the town began to notice things and got mad. Tea Cake and Ms. Mayor Starks! All the men that she could get, and fooling with somebody like Tea Cake! Another thing, Joe Starks hadn't been dead but nine months and here she goes sashaying off to a picnic in pink linen. Done quit attending church, like she used to. Gone off to Sanford in a car with Tea Cake and her all dressed in blue! It was a shame."
Pg. 110

First, I want explain why it looks like I'm not reading a lot. Well, I mark/bookmark passages/quotes as I read through the book. So when I see something interesting or something can write a lot about, I bookmark it no matter if they're 2 pages apart or 10 pages apart. Do you get what I'm trying to say Mrs. Clifford? (: I am actually farther ahead from page 110.
Here's my real comment: (C) In this passage, it seems like the author is criticizing Janie for running around with Tea Cake. (The rest of the paragraph this passage belongs to criticizes her more.) Don't you hate it when you want to do something but everyone tries to bring you down? Like you can't be free without someone bounding you. I mean, can't people just let that person do what they want to do? Let them deal with the consequences, because most of the time they already know its coming.
