Journal Entery 2

In chapter five I have chosen seventeen lines from the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. In these lines they will have mood and tone. And three literary techniques, conflict, archetype and foil. These are the sixteen lines I Have chosen from the novel,
"When it was all over that night in bed Jody asked Janie, "Well, honey, how yuh lak bein' Mrs. Mayor?"
"It's all right Ah reckon, but don't yuh think it keeps us in uh kinda strain?"
"Strain? You mean de cookin' and waitin' on folks?" 
"Naw, Jody it jus' looks lak it keeps us in some way we ain't natural wid one 'nother. You'se always off takin' and fixin' things, and Ah feels lak Ah'm  jus' markin' time. Hope it soon gits over."
"Over, Janie? I god, Ah ain't even started good. Ah told you in de very beginnin' dat  Ah aimed tuh be uh big voice. You oughta be glad, 'cause dat makes uh big woman outa you."
A feeling of coldness and fear took hold of her. She felt far away from things and lonely.
Janie soon began to feel the impact of awe and envy against her sensibilities. The wife of the Mayor was not just another woman as she had supposed. She slept authority and so she was part of it in the town mind. She couldn't get but so close to most of them in spirit. It was especially noticable after Joe had forced through town ditch to drain the streets in front of the store. They had murmured hotly about slavery being over, but every man filled his assignment. " (Hurston).

In the seventeen line passage from chapter five page fourty-six the mood of the secene going on between Janie and Jody is the begining of a relationship ending because Janie feels traped by loneliness and can't see any light towards Jody because he is too busy maintaining the new town he has built. The tone of the passage is a small argument and a you should appreciate what we have kind of tone.

The first literary term of this passage is conflict, it's a part of this piece because Jody and Janie are discussing about the state of their relationship is at. Janie feels alone and disconnected from Jody because of how quickly the town is developing and how sucsessfull it's going.

The second term ofthe passage is archetype, Jody is a good example because he took the time and effort to create a town for African American people. He shows that he's the strong leader and mayor of the town. On the other hand Janie hardly makes any dicisions for the town because she's a woman and women back than could'nt have a say in anything. On page fourty-three Jody says that woman shouldn't say any speeches, insted they should stay and tend the home where they belong. I believe this is a stereotype against women back in the 30's.
