The seminal event Of the book occurs in chapter 18 when a hurricane hits the Everglades. What do Janie and Tea Cake decide to do in the face of the hurricane initially? Who is with them? What eventually changes their minds regarding their previous actions? Later Janie nearly drowns in flood waters and Tea Cake has to save her from a vicious dog who is standing on the back of a cow. Tea Cake kills the dog, but not before he gets bit. The event that happens in chapter 19 was foreshadowed by something in chapter 14. What was that? What is the significance of 3 empty chambers? Janie is forced to go to court on the same day that Tea Cake dies. Explain the meaning of the following statement from chapter 19 -- ”a tongue storm-struck the Negroes like wind among the palm trees”. Who is it that turns on Janie in court? Look at the very last line of chapter 19 which states “she was too busy feeling grief to dress like grief” and compare it to Janie's emotions in chapter 9 at Joe's funeral. What is the truth finally come to realize about love in chapter 20? Please phrase your responses in complete sentences, and remember that spelling counts.
Tea Cake teaching Janie how to shoot and Janie becoming a good shot foreshadowed Tea Cake's death. I believe the significance of the three empty chambers was that Tea Cake had three targets in mind. Who? I'm not entirely sure, but it most likely could've been Mrs. Turner, her brother, and Janie. "A tongue storm struck the Negroes like wind among the palm trees", is referring to how the black people in the courtroom began talking bad about her. Because Janie and Tea Cake's friends had more love for Tea Cake, they turned on Janie at her hearing, claiming that she killed Tea Cake to get with another man. Based on her actions at both of her late husband's funerals, it's easy to see which one Janie loved more. At Joe's funeral, she only wore the traditional colors to please the people in the town. When Tea Cake died, she hired ten sedans, bought him roses, and bought him a new guitar. Janie found out that as long as she chooses to cherish her love and memories with Tea Cake, he'll never truly be gone.
Initially Tea Cake and Janie decides to stay while Motorboat is in the room sleeping staying behind with them. After seeing that is was true and the water was close to being in the house they decided to get there important things and leave. The foreshadowing in chapter 19 that was in chapter 14 was when Tea Cake taught Janie how to shoot. When they talked about the three chambers, I think the significance are out of jealousy thinking Janie was cheating, for Mrs. Turner who was trying to break Janie up with Tea Cake, and Mrs. Turner son who he thought Janie was cheating on him with. In chapter 19 the statement “ a tongue storm-struck the Negroes like wind among the palm trees” means to me that they was so quick to speak on things they heard or made up instead of knowing the truth. In the courtroom all of Tea Cake friends and other negroes turned on her. After, Tea Cake passes and she is at the funeral she doesn’t get dressed up, but she dress to how she feels. Tea Cake funeral is different from Joe’s funeral. Even though both of their funerals well put together Joe’s funeral was like she only attended because she didn’t want nobody to thin the wrong thing. For Tea Cake funeral she went to her love one be buried even though she didn’t want him to go. In the end love is not to rushed or forced, but you have to be genuinely. You have to be mentally and physically connected with that person.
