Even though Janie is a dynamic character she still sticks to her childhood dreams.
Go on to speak about Janie not being dynamic, but being more estatic.

Their eyes were watching God: Event Response 2
Chapter 10-12
In chapter 10, we see Janie becoming more and more independent. She becomes independent about herself and the way she thinks about things. She begins wearing her hair down, she rins the store by herself, she talks to people that she wants to talk to. There is no Joe Starks there telling Janie what and what not she should be doing. From 11-12 Janie begins to atually flurt with Tea Cake and Tea Cake does it right back. Tea Cake begins walking her home, having sex with her, and taking her to picnics. Although everyone in the town is dissapointed that Janie is going out with a poor person and that she is doing herself wrong and dead Joe wrong, she does not care what anyone else thinks. She finally shows that she is a independent ladie that does whatever she wants whenever she wants.

Their eyes were watching God: Event Response
Chapter 6
In chapter 6, Matt Bonner's dog is always being made fun of and mistreated by other people. You can tell that the dog does not like the owner because it runs away to the front of Janies store. The men outside of the store are agrivating the poor mule and Janie sees this. Janie starts mumbling and talking to others about how mean it is to do such a thing. Joe over hears Janie talking so he decides to buy the dog for 5 dollars from the owner. The townspeople think that this deed of Joe is so Noble and Brave that they think its like Lincoln ending slavery.
This event is very important because when the dog dies the people take the loss like a war that has ended. Everyone knows that the dog was in pain and has gone to another place and thats why people refer to this event as they way the refer it. But, the people referring to Joe as being like Lincoln is on another scale. Freeing slaves is much more important than freeing a dog from its misery. Also the townspeople do not see the real Joe when he is slapping women and mistreating women. He is not noble, and hes a horrible person. Although the people cant see this, one person can. This one person is not aloud to talk to other people in the town because they are trashy.

Their eyes were watching God Quotation Response
"Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly."
This quotation is stating a difference in the way men and women act and think. Men will keep on following or chasing something until they fail or know that there going to fail. The death by time is what makes the men fail in this example in the story. Women forget everything thats unimportant and they want to forget, and they remember all the important things or the things they want to remember. They control their minds to what the want and dont want to forget. This is how the book states women and men think differently.

Huck and Finn Quotation Response 6
pg 209
"As a general thing it makes a body wish he was dead."
The reason why I chose this quote is because it seems so powerful. Something so general and normal, can make someone think that they wish they were dead. It gives a lot of character to the general thing that they are talking about. I dont know how this quotation will affect or be used anywhere else in the poem.

pg 199
"So the king sneaked into the wigwam and took to his bottle for comforyt, and before long the duke tackled HIS bottle;"
The reason why I chose this quotation is because to me it shows a lot of emotion of different sorts. The KING has to sneak around, when does a King have to sneak around to do or look for something, hes the most powerful person, he doesnt have to sneak anything, he can do what ever he wants. Another is the word his is capatilized showing that the bottle is his own and nobody elses like someone is going to take it. This shows so demanding type of emotion. This might cause some sort of conflict more into the story because of this.

Huck and Finn Quotation Response 4
pg 89
"It was a monstrous big river here, with the tallest and the thickest kind of timber on both banks; just a solid wall, as well as I could see by the stars."
This quotation is a great description of what the character is looking at at the time. It gives specific information and also describes the surroundings of it. The reason why I chose the quotation is becasue the character makes something that is actually small in life seem so big because of the description of it. It also includes the stars and I really like the stars and space.
