• Pg 136- conflict "Janie learned what it felt like to be jealous. A little chunky girl took to picking a play out of Tea Cake..." : Hurston uses this conflict of interests to create a sense of hostility in chapter 5. Janie feel as though she must compete for Tea Cake's love; thus it leads to a sense of hostility between Janie and Nunkie, and frustration between Janie and Tea Cake.
• Pg 134- symbol "Sometimes Janie would think of the old days in the big white house and the store and laugh to herself " : Here the white house that Janie lived in with Jody is symbolic of her old life. The white house and the drudgery of the store represent something Janie is glad to have escaped, and Hurston wants to emphasize Janie's new found satisfaction.
• Pg 129- setting "To Janie's eyes, everything in the Everglades was big and new": with this Hurston desires to create a general setting- something overwhelming, worshipful, and completely new to Janie.
