Their eyes were watching God: chapter 2 quotes

"Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things done and undone."

I believe this quote is based off of the things that Janie went through over her life time so far. Also the things she accomplished and didnt have a chance to accomplish so far. Janie saw her life as good so far. She might have went through the hurt and pain. She also might not have had the chance to accomplish the things she desired. That their were some obstacles she had to go through to make it where she was now. She had to suffer without parents.
Also how she left and came back to Eatonville. She had to deal with the men and women of the town talking about her. How she reflected on her life and the important things that went on in her life.





"Nanny's head and face looked like the standing roots of some old tree that had been torn awat by a storm."


This quote says thay nanny is very tired. I chose this quote because it gives an description of how it looks whcih says alot. Nanny first is not young. so she's probaly very tired. For nanny's face to look like standing roots of an old tree is horrible. that means that nanny is more than tired. She's stressed out, problay having personal problems. This quote becomes even worse when it says that her face looks like it had been torn away by a storm. that means that nanny looked very bad.
