"he wasn't dead...thinking"(193)Tea Cake had taught Janie what love is + he signified a new way of life for Janie, one she loved #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"We find...Woods"(188)I think the only reason Janie was not convicted of murder was cuz the jury was white. Do you think so? #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

Did Janie make the right choice by shooting Tea Cake? I think that at that time it was right but she shouldve just taken his gun #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"things crashing...velocity"(159)is the destruction supposed to symbolize new beginnings or going back to the ways b4 Janie left #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

Why do you think Hurston included the hurricane? I think it was because it was put in to wash away the bad even if it didnt #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"he had whipped Janie"(147)why is Tea Cake able to beat Janie for nothing she did but when Tea Cake was w/ Nunkie nothin happend #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"You got..got married"(140)Mrs Turner says only problem with blacks is that there are 2 many but thats not how people have acted #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

Did anyone else think Nunkie was going to be a future problem? because I did based on Janie's past relationships. #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"Janie trying to beat him"(137) Do you think Janie is influenced by her past on the way she acts towards Tea Cake about Nunkie? #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"She got...Tea Cake"(131) shows how Janie is taking on more masculine roles by shooting and dont care about typical gender roles #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"Put..nothin"(128)Tea Cake isnt prejudice and shows respect toward Janie he dont believe in gender roles xcept men support women #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

I think money is an important symbol in this book because it always comes up and gets related to how 'good' someone is #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"Still..Cake"(113)Janie dont care bout what people think bout her shes been thru the bad & wants to be happy #isthat2much2askfor #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

Janie doesnt open up to Tea Cake right away. Is she scared? Why wont she tell him everything? Is her 'mask' something she wants? #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"Dey...short"(95) Do u think that Tea Cakes's name has some alternative meaning behind it? I think so but I don't know what yet #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"How..beat"(95)Again checkers show up & its symbolizing da struggles u have to go throu to win in life What do u think it means? #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"Business..game"(94)I think its important tht Janie is da only 1 not at the game cuz its a symbol of her vs society & shes alone #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"She..love"(89)Janies past is complex & Nanny built her solid ground to be where she is cuz Nan showed her the wrong in da world #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"Before...her waist"(89) Janie burning all her head rags symbolizes her finishing her old life & starting over fresh & beautiful #tewwgviola

[Ian Karnick @ikarnick_school]

"She tore off..to see"(Hurston 87)Janie took off her headrag & now is able 2 show her true colors & be herself w/o being told NO #tewwgviola
