Journal 6

I think the main reason for this passage is to show Janies true feelings toward Tea Cake.

The first paragraph is about how Janie waited for love and how there is doubt in it.

The mood was kind of sad and depressing, and i could see the tone on how she put all of the focus on how Janie felt in the situation with Tea Cake.

The change of dialect was to show more focus on what Janie thought, This added desperation to the tone and mood, as is she was pleading.

There was focus on description when it came to the sun, I believe that the sun represented Tea cake, and without Tea Cake she has no light in her life.

To Cassi
I noticed a lot of words about death and dying as well in the passage. I thought it helped set up the mood and tone. From what i noticed from reading your analysis, i saw a lot of contrast between dark and light in the passage.

To Amy
I liked how you thought about the mood and the tone. It made me understand it better and see different meanings in the passage!

To Katey
I saw the same things for the mood and tone! The thing i liked was how you noticed all of the long pauses she took when Janie was thinking.
