800 Number On The Milk Carton Report
I predict that Janie will call the 800 number on the milk carton to find out more about herself and her birth parents. The reason for my prediction is because after finding out she was kidnapped Janie kept searching her memory for clues to her past that might explain what happened. She also questioned her parents as to why there are no baby pictures of her but does not get the answers she is seeking. Calling the number might provide all the answers she

    Janie Johnson's The Face On The Milk Carton

    In them she finds old school papers with the name Hannah, and also the polka dotted white dress she saw on the milk carton. When Janie confronts her parents with this information, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson explain that Hannah is their daughter, and Janie is Hannah's daughter - so, Janie is really their granddaughter. Hannah was a confused child and joined a cult at a young age. She was married to one of the men in her cult and one day showed up at her parents' house with Janie. Hannah returned to her cult, and the Johnsons left with Janie, moving to a different state, and even changing their name from "Javensen" to "Johnson," fearing that the cult would try to get her back. Janie is relieved that the people she believed were her parents were not kidnappers. However, Janie cannot get the picture on the milk carton or the memories of another family out of her mind. She researches the Spring kidnapping. She comes to the conclusion that her parents are probably insane or lying and actually did kidnap her, but she still loves them.

    What Does Janie's Hair Symbolize In Their Eyes Were Watching God

    Janie’s strength and personality are clearly represented in three different ways. First is the first symbol her hair represents, whiteness. In Chapter 19, Mrs. Tuner is racist of all and anything related to “Negroes” except when the “Negroes” show a trait of whiteness. Mrs. Tuner sought Janie as a friend because of Janie’s “coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair” that showed the symbol of whiteness within Janie. She worshipped Janie since that hair brought out a sense of white power that Janie uses, which disrupts the balance between two themes within the novel – white over black, and male over female.…

    Their Eyes Were Watching God By Zora Neale Hurston: Literary Analysis

    Janie’s independence appears to be an influential motive when it comes to relationships and marriages. Janie’s first two marriages with Logan Killicks and Joe Starks do not provide Janie with the freedom she yearned for. Logan is her Nanny’s choice for her husband, due to the fact that he owned a sixty-acre farm and offered financial security to Janie. However, Janie had said over and over to Nanny that she did not love Logan. Nanny kept saying that Janie would learn to love after marriage, as long as she waited for it. However, after several months, Janie doubts that she will ever come to love Logan, and she tells Nanny that “you told me Ah wuz gointer love him, and, and Ah don’t. Maybe if somebody was to tell me how, Ah could do it" (Hurston 23). Soon, Logan is taking…

    Zora Neale Hurston Their Eyes Were Watching God Literary Analysis

    When Janie leaves Logan she hopes that Joe will lead her to the life she desires and she won’t have to work like Logan wanted her to. Janie said Joe spoke of a far horizon and she hoped he would get her there. In one article the author states, “At the outset, she knows that Jody is not himself a part of the pear tree vision…. A short time later, however, she seeks to realize her vision by disguising the concrete reality which should embody it” (Kubitschek). Janie knew that Joe was not part of her vision of the pear tree, but she hoped that she would still be able to achieve her dreams with Joe. However throughout their relationship she soon realized the Joe was not the person she took off with down the road with to embark on a new life. After Joe had abused Janie she reflected upon herself and realized that she had strayed so far away from the dream she had for herself as a child. Joe had complete control over her and she did whatever he told her to do. In the book Their Eyes Were Watching God Hurston wrote, “But looking at it she saw that it never was the flesh and blood figure of her dreams. Just something she grabbed up to drape her dreams over” (Hurston 72). With this realization Janie was able to proceed with discovering herself again, come to terms with what has happened with her life and be able to get…

    Character Analysis: Their Eyes Were Watching God

    She meets Joe Starks, an opportunistic individual with big dreams of becoming mayor of a small, unknown town by rebuilding it into a flourishing one. Janie decides that with Joe Starks, she can start anew and search for happiness. Janie had no influence over her life with Logan, so she flings off her apron binding her to Logan and with this new freedom, runs off with Joe. Joe does not “represent sun-up and pollen and blooming trees, but he spoke for far horizons” which intrigued Janie all the same (29). Little does she realize, being with Joe does not yield happiness. In fact, Joe is both possessive and controlling over Janie’s every action as they are actions that “should” or “should not” be done by the mayor’s wife. Joe expects Janie, as the mayor’s wife, to be set apart from the others. Sitting on a chair of power and authority that Joe placed her on, Janie inspires both “awe and envy” from the townspeople, but she could never “get but so close to most of them in spirit” making her feel “far away from things and lonely” (46). Janie seems like she now has power and influence, but she does not have any over her personal life. Joe controls her, and as a result none of the townspeople truly know what Janie is like and think that she “always did class off” (112). However, it is Joe who classes her off . He restricts Janie and takes charge of her actions, especially…

    Their Eyes Were Watching God Character Analysis

    However, just as Janie is emerging as an individual and as a woman, her self-discovery is crippled by Nanny's fear of this maturity. Nanny desires to marry Janie off as soon as possible, so that she is protected in a financially secure, yet loveless, marriage so that Nanny passes on with the assurance that Janie is provided for and is materially taken care of. Therefore, she arranges for Janie to marry Logan Killicks, a wealthy landowner, who becomes rude and possessive, and begins treating Janie like an object. This oppressive relationship hinders Janie's quest for self-knowledge; her images of love and marriage as she envisioned under the beautiful blossoming pear tree are dashed by the harsh realities of her loveless marriage to Logan. Janie's first marriage and its failure are beginning stages of her seach for self-fulfillment; her voice and identity are still undefined, and she does not progress in her self-development until she becomes free of Logan's restraint. Both the black vernacular and the third-person narrative are used to…

    Analysis of Relationships in Their Eyes Were Watching God

    It is Janie’s relationship with Nanny that first suppresses her self-growth. Janie has an immense level of respect towards Nanny, who has raised Janie since her mother ran off. The respect Janie has for her grandmother is deeper than the respect demanded by tradition, from a child toward his caretaker, probably because Nanny’s genuine concern for Janie’s well being is so obvious. Her authentic concern can be seen largely through dialogue between her and Janie, for instance when Nanny desperately explains to Janie that she had worked hard to buy a real house so that Janie would no longer be subject to harassment by her black classmates, and that her motivation in marrying Janie off to Killicks was to ensure that Janie wouldn’t end up being used for a “work-ox” (16) or a “spit cup” (20) by men, white and black. Ironically, Nanny’s determination to shelter Janie from oppression ends up serving as the first oppressor of Janie’s individuality that we see in the novel. Nanny pushes her idealized image of security, through marriage, onto a teenage girl whose current desire in life is anything BUT security.…

    Their Eyes Were Watching God Critical Essay

    Developing sexual desires made Nanny realize that a new life should be put ahead of Janie. Nanny then forces Janie into her first marriage with a man named Logan Killicks. “Nanny chooses Logan because she feels marriage to a rich man will shield Janie from both sexual availability and thankless labor.” (Bealer) But Janie thinks different, while she is with Logan, she doesn’t feel loved or comfortable with him. Always having the responsibility to farm and work, she just felt used. After meeting Joe Starks one day, she finds herself thinking that "he spoke for change and chance” (28). She thinks that being with Joe will get her out of her unhealthy marriage with Logan, and so she left. Having the mayor of Eatonville being her husband, she feels as if she is on top of the world. But all that changes over time when he gets abusive verbally and physically which made her feel as if she’s an object rather than a person. This all led to the end of her second marriage.…

    As time went on, new opportunities arose. “He spoke for change and chance. Still she hung back. The memory of Nanny was still powerful and strong.” (29) Joe Starks was a relief for Janie. At this point her desires came back into play, Love and romance were again an option. Despite this newfound hope, she was aware of the outward existences, in particular her Grandma.
