Pg 1-10
Their Eyes Were Watching God
5/30/11
Janie comes back from the funeral of her husband Tea Cake. Everyone is mad at her for marrying someone younger than herself. The townspeople are throwing lots of insults about how she acts too young. I think that this could possibly be a flash forward because this doesn't seem to be going anywhere and there are flash forwards at the begining of many books.
