Their Eyes Were Watching God- Journal #1

I perceive Janie has a woman who is very comfortable with herself and who she is has a person. I think that it took her overcoming persecution to become the person that she is today. She has moved past living for other people's opinions and expectations. I think that has a child she was extremely different from the others and remains to march to the beat of her own drum. With the other ladies from the town, she is still looked at with jealousy and I think that is something that has happened her entire life. When she was a child the other girls in class did not like her because of the quality of her hand-me-downs.
I do not think I know the narrator that well yet. From what I did see I think that the narrator is rather relaxed. It seems has if the narrator is telling a story she (I think that the narrator is a woman) has heard many times, but continues to tell anyways. As if she is saying it but is in no hurry to get to the end. The narrator seems to be very mature and experienced. I think that she must be full of storys that are similar to this. Either that, or this is her family story, definetly something close to her heart.
