Journal 9

The story begins with Jodie re-entering Eatonville, the place she had left with Tea Cake from. Everyone watches her wondering what had happened. This raises the question of "what has this woman done?" in the readers mind. The story of her past unfolds throughout the whole book. In the last chapter, we see the state that she is in after the first chapter of the book. In the first chapter, we wonder who this woman is and what she has done. In the last chapter we know everything that has ever happened to her and how she feels about her life and other people. This gives us an insight on life that we can gather from the fictional character, Janie, herself.
