Eyes Journal 6

Purpose:  Janie's hopelessness is displayed through her pleas to God that Tea Cake will return to her and Janie's longing for the ideal love.

Topic Sentence 1: In the first paragraph, Hurston uses Annie Tyler to represent Janie's fear of the future.
Topic Sentence 2: In the second paragraph, Janie debates what she will do if Tea Cake does not come back, and prays to God that he comes back, despite her mistakes.
Topic Sentence 3: In the third paragraph, Janie's desperation for Tea Cake is contrasted with the imagery of the sunrise to create a more uplifting mood.


Trevor comment:

Nice Trevor. I like how you thought that the sun was personified to seem like a character. The repetition of the sun throughout the whole book is a good thing to recognize.

Josh comment:

Nice Job Josh. I like how you recognized that Tea Cake was Janies' motivation. After Tea Cake left it really seemed like Janie was in a predicament, and she was very lost without him. Nice use of literary terms.


Karl comment:

Good job Karl. I like the fact that you noticed the contrast of them putting Annie to bed, and then Janie getting out of bed. I didn't notice that before and I think it is a good point.
