January 14, Quinn, Catherine, and Sharon Notes



Chapter 5
  • Pg 50-”Basket full of feelings”
    • Power goes to those who take and not deserve
    • Didn’t know anything different
    • Paradox cycle, shaped by expectations--contribute to them
    • Influence/ power over
  • Town light shining  
    • Light=eyes of God, he is watching over bearing
    • Lamppost-Showed existence wasn’t anything before Jody
    • Christianity-God & Masculine
Chapter 6
  • Quick change of judgement (mule & woman) 
    • Jokes and games, porch=human nature
    • Conformity, follows Jody the mayor
    • Climb later to top of the ladder to put others down to make yourself better
  • Doesn’t talk much-voice still lost
  • Deserves better
Chapter 7
  • Refusing to acknowledge Jody 
    • Tricked her? 
  • Honeymoon phase ended-shattering glass
  • 5 signs of abusive relationship
  • Jody-similar to Nanny? 
    • Protected her, look like Nanny didn’t listen 
Chapter 8/9
  • Growing older + intelligent = maturity
  • Women not allowed jealousy but man allowed
  • Whenever Janie speaks out to someone that person dies
    • People get hurt when she asserts her independence 
  • Is not a feminist novel 
    • Her attempts to independence fails 
  • Independence bad? Or good
