Plot

My reaction to the plot of the story which is an african american woman trying to find herself on a journey and find love within her mirrages. I realize alot of people including me do the same thing so I feel myself relating to her. Her first husband Logan who she doesn't really want but her nanny wants for her so she doesn't become a 'mule' or woman slave to some man only wants her as a helper not a lover which happens to some people who love the same job and they just want someone to help them and be there with them everyday to help them rather than to be their lover. Janie follows Jody when she meets him because she thinks he will be diffrent since he has a dream of going to an all colored town and at first seems to care about her. It turns out Jody only wants her as a trophy wife to show off and only allowes her to do what he tells her to do and nothing else. This also happens in alot of relationships especially in ones that are to soon and both people or one person aren't ready or when the couple or one of the couples only wants to show off that he/she has a girl/boyfriend or wife/husband to friends. At first she wonders about Tea Cake but then he starts to get her to warm up to him with the guitar and sweet words, in this relationship she actually finds love even though they have thier ups and downs as it should be with any actual relationship. She also finds herself and is content with herself at the end of the story even with everything she's gone through. I can even relate to the kind of relationship shes had with Jody and her journey since i'm still on mine, that's why I admire her, she was able to find herself.
