Their Eyes were Watching God.

Ch. 7

The scene that interested me the most is in chapter 7 when Janie and Joe get into a fight in the store. Janie is having trouble cutting a plug of tabacco for a customer. Joe sees this and begins to make fun of janie in front of all the costumers in the store. Janie doesn't like this so she insults his sagging body and says that he looks like "de change uh life," and this gets Joe very embarassed. The insult toward Joe stuns all of the3 men on the porch and they can't believe what jsut happened. Joe doesn't like what Janie just did so he hits her across the face because he fells his power of the town begin to vanish.
