Journal #7

After a long, thought process Janie decides to go off and marry Tea Cake. The consequence of her decision  is that society expects different from her and when she did decide to go with Tea Cake society definitely disapproved. I think Janie's motivation was that Tea Cake was so different from her past relationships and the fact that society disapproved was a sort of independence she was taking on. Her decision makes it clear to the reader that she used to be a people pleaser in a way and now that she has grown up she is making decisions for herself and doing what she wants to do. 

Pastiche:
