chpt. 7-9

Blog – In Chapter 9, Janie talks about how the angels grew jealous of man and chopped up and covered him in mud. How does this parable relate to Janie’s own experience?

To me this parable relates to Janie in that Joe was jeleaous of her. She was his but that just wasn't good enough for him, he was jelaous of her looks and how all the guys wanted her. And when he was getting older he was jeleaous of how she stayed looking younger. So even tho she was his and he sould hav been greatful for that, cause all the guys wanted her so she could hav just up and left, but she didn't so he should hav been more appreciative but instead he just cut her down and pointed out her flaws to her and the rest of the town. Which is similar to the jealous angels cutting down man.

I see your point and did talked about that. But you bring up a point I over looked of how Janie was just not enough for him. This is a vary good and true point. In my blog I also talked about how Janie struck Joe down in the store and how they are both to blame for the pain they made each other fell.
