Please write a complete response to the prompts and respond to at least two of your classmates as well.

What does watching the blossoming pear tree make Janie realize? What does she do in response to this "awakening" and how does her grandmother view her actions? Who do you find the most sympathetic and why? What does Janie's grandmother mean when she says she wants her to "pick from a higher bush and a sweeter berry"? (p. 13) Contrast Janie and Nanny's views of love.  How have their life experiences impacted their perspective?
