Journal #1

Janie: Janie seems immune to the gossip around her and believes it's a waste of time. She is also more than willing to explain what her life actually was like to other people, making it seem like she's proud or happy with the life she lived.  She also seems like a strong, wise, older woman, someone who has been through a lot in her life.  Janie also has gotten over the death of Tea Cake, and wants to move on with her life.  When she tells Pheoby that Tea Cake is gone there isn't any sadness or sorrow in her words. 

Narrator: The narrator seems to be a bit sexist and baised toward females.  They describe men as being incapable of achieving their goals and their dreams being "... mocked to death by time."  The narrator also has a wide range of word choices, using these words to create mental images and provide insight to the situation at hand.
