TEWWG chapter 5

Chapter 5 focuses on Joe and Janie’s new life in Eatonville. Joe puts his plans concerning the town into action. What are some of the things he does when he gets to Eatonville? How would you characterize Joe on the first two pages of chapter 5?  How is he viewed by the people of the town? An emotional divide starts to show between Joe and Janie in this chapter.  Re-read this quote from chapter 5 “Thank yuh fuh yo’ compliments, but mah wife don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no speech-makin’. Ah never married her for nothin’ lak dat. She’s uh woman and her place is in de home.” In what context is this line delivered? What’s Janie’s emotional reaction to that line?  How does this symbolize Joe and Janie’s relationship and his ideas about her worth?  Describe their different approaches to their new position in town. Describe the scene around the lamplighting. Does it remind you of anything? By the end of chapter 5 there is a shift in the way the town perceives Joe and his possessions.  How do the people of the town come to regard him? Re-read the last paragraph of chapter 5.  How does that paragraph summarize the relationship between Joe and the people of the town?

In order to receive full credit you must respond to the questions in full sentences, as well as respond to two of your classmates' posts. This must be completed by 8am Monday.
