Their eyes were watching God:chapter 9

"She hated her grandmother and had hidden it from herself all these years under a cloak of pity."

I believe she hid the feelings of hating her grandmother for qa very long time. At first she could have thought her grandmother had her best intrest at heart. Also that her grandmother didnt care about her feelings. As long as Janie had a man with money, nanny felt good about it. Now that Janie is miserable with all of those things she realize how mad she really is. She has kept her feelings in for so long she doesnt know how to let them out. Janie hates her grandmother because she did what she thought was best instead of letting janie do what she thought was best for her. Also if Nanny had'nt made those decisions for her she would probaly be with someone she truly loves and care for. Janie has been through two marriages. One of them was set up by Nanny. So Janie feelings were hidden for a very long time about alot of things.






"Here Nanny had taken the biggest thing God ever made, the horizon-for no matter how far a person can go the horizon is still way beyond you."


I believe this quote says alot. It doesnt matter how hard you try, How successful you get its always something a person can never catch up to which is the horizon. The person can be very successful but if you dont have love for that success, you will be miserable. God made things that you cant even match up to. People try to believe that they can get as high as god. How are you going to do that if you cant catch up to the things that god made. The horizon is an awsome thing to reach for. The sad part is that you will never reach it.
