Their Eyes Were Watching God:Journal Number Five

They put her to bed and sent for her married daughter from up around Ocala to come see about her.  The daughter came as soon as she could and took Annie Tyler away to die in peace. She had waited all her life or something, and it had killed her when it found her.
      The thing made itself into pictures and hung around Janie's bedside all night long.  Anyhow, she wasn't going back to Eatonville to be laughed at and pitied. She had ten dollars in her pocket and twelve hundred in the bank.  But oh God, don't let Tea Cake be off somewhere hurt and Ah not know nothing about it.  And God, please suh, don't let him love nobody else but me.  Maybe Ah'm is uf fool, Lawd, lad dey say, but Lawd, Ah been so lonesome, and Ah been waitin', Jesus.  Ah done waited uh long time.
      Janie dozed off to sleep but she woke up in time to see the sun sending up spies ahead of him to mark out the road through the dark.  he peeped up over the door sill of the world and made a little foolishness with red.  but pretty soon, he laid all that aside and went about his business dressed all in white.  But it was always going to be dark to Janie if Tea Cake didn't soon come back. She got out of the bed but a chair couldn't hold her. She dwindled down on the floor her head in a rocking chair.

"They put her to bed and sent for her married daughter from up around Ocala to come see about her.  The daughter came as soon as she could and took Annie Tyler away to die in peace. She had waited all her life or something, and it had killed her when it found her."
   -They: Third person point of view.
   -Bed: This word popped out for me because a bed is somewhere you sleep, to rest.
   -Married daughter: A character.
   -Ocala: Setting
   -Her: Repeated word. The narrator is trying to keep the reader interested by repeating.
   -Annie Tyler: Character.
   -Die: Harsh word.
   -Peace: Contrasts with "die." Someone is truly in "peace" when they have passed. (Or so I have been told.)
*This paragraph is before Janie's side of the story. This is told for the reader to know that this was the story that one of her friends from Eatonville shared. It was about how Annie Tyler went off with a younger man and he left her after he was able to get a hold of her money. This is to let the reader know that Janie is nervous that Tea Cake may have done such a thing. She is questioning his faith to her.

"The thing made itself into pictures and hung around Janie's bedside all night long.  Anyhow, she wasn't going back to Eatonville to be laughed at and pitied. She had ten dollars in her pocket and twelve hundred in the bank.  But oh God, don't let Tea Cake be off somewhere hurt and Ah not know nothing about it.  And God, please suh, don't let him love nobody else but me.  Maybe Ah'm is uf fool, Lawd, lad dey say, but Lawd, Ah been so lonesome, and Ah been waitin', Jesus.  Ah done waited uh long time."
   -Hung: A word that caught my attention. Hung is a word that is descriptive. The reader is able to imagine what is "hanging."
   -Janie: Character
   -She: Point of View=First
   -Wasn't: Harsh word.
   -Laughed: A word that can really hurt someone's feelings.
   -Pitied: Can make a person or character tense. No one wants to have someone pity them.
   -God: Has faith.
   -Don't: Another harsh word. Demanding.
   -Tea Cake: Character
   -Hurt: A word that could really affect someone.
   -Ah: Point of View= First
   -Love: One of the strongest emotions a person/character can have.
   -Fool: Overlooking something.
   -Lonesome: Feeling the need for someone.
*A very descriptive paragraph. The first sentence definitley has imagery. This is about how Janie feels that she has been left. Then she thinks that Tea Cake may have gotten hurt, then she would feel guilty. She is becoming tense and nervous for Tea Cake. She is trying to figure out what she would do if he didn't return. She doesn't want the feeling of being alone again.

 "Janie dozed off to sleep but she woke up in time to see the sun sending up spies ahead of him to mark out the road through the dark.  he peeped up over the door sill of the world and made a little foolishness with red.  but pretty soon, he laid all that aside and went about his business dressed all in white.  But it was always going to be dark to Janie if Tea Cake didn't soon come back. She got out of the bed but a chair couldn't hold her. She dwindled down on the floor her head in a rocking chair.
   -Dozed: Fell asleep. A word that, to me, means didn't want to sleep, but eventually did.
   -She: Point of View: Third person!
   -Spies: To watch something with out them knowing. Descriptive.
   -Him: Repeated!
   -Dark: Descriptive. Eerie tone.
   -Peeped: Looked over something. Descriptive. Imagery.
   -Foolishness: Descriptive. Feelings.
   -White: Symbolic
   -Dwindled: Descriptive. Imagery. Innocence.
*I was a little confused on this paragraph. Who is the "he"? (I feel uneducated for not knowing.) Again, Janie is questioning Tea Cake's faith to her. She dwindled, showing how she does not have strength to get up. She feels weak with out Tea Cake.

PURPOSE: To show that Janie and Annie Tyler may have the same situation. Janie does not want to be left. She put her faith into Tea Cake, she trusted him. If he has done such a thing, then her friend from Eatonville was right, and she would be ashamed for not listening. In the back of her head she is questioning and feels bad also for questioning him if it is not true.

MOOD AND TONE:
Dark- Eerie
Don't- Forceful. Tense. Stressed word.
Dwindled: Upset. Sad. Lost hope.
Dozed: Fell asleep but not wanting to. Tired. Relaxing (In a way)
Peeped: Curious.
