1) How do you perceive Janie?
2) How do you perceive the narrator?
1) Janie is perceived at the beginning of the book as a quiet person that keeps to her self but is the focus of all the local towns people's talk. "...You know if you pass some people and don't speak tuh suit 'em dey got tuh go way back in yo' life and see whut you ever done."(5) I also perceive Jania as a person that many don't know as well as they should to make judgements about her. She has not been given the chance to give here side of the story of what happened with Tea Cake and this leaves the towns people to assume the worst has happened to her.
2) Right from the beginning of the story the narrator give you great deal about what is going on. But really does not give you much background information about the character. This leaves you to have to connect the dots as more information is presented to you. " So the beginning of this was a woman and she had come back from burying the dead. Not the dead of sick and ailing with friends at the pillow and the feet." (1)
