Their eyes were watching God:15

"Janie learned what it felt like to be jealous."

I believe this quote says alot about where Janie came from to where she is now. For a very long time people was always jealous of Janie. They were jealous of how she dressed, looked and the way she lived. Also they were jealous about how long her hair was. So for Janie to finally be jealous was very suprising. Janie has never to be the one to be jealous. Also Janie was jealous of Tea Cake and Nuckie. She thought they had something going on behind her back. Janie was shocked.





"A little seed of fear was growing into a tree."

This quote means that it was something within Tea Cake and Janie's realtionship that wasnt good. Nuckie was getting in the way of Janie and Tea Cake's marriage. Janie would see Nuckie playing and hitting on Tea Cake. She would even hit him then fall on him like she was playing. Tea Cake didnt think that Nuckie was doing anything bad. Janie had realized what Nuckie was doing all along. Janie had to put a stop to it.
