And sends her home so she can try to call down and think everything over and to not make any rash decisions. ** Jody- ** dead and the town was having a very lavish funeral. “Joe’s funeral was the finest thing Orange County had ever seen with Negro eyes. The motor hearse, the Cadillac and Buick carriages; Dr. Henderson there in his Lincoln ; the hosts from far and wide. Then again the gold and red and purple, the gloat and glamour of the secret orders, each with its insinuations of power and glory undreamed of by the uninitiated.” **// ( // Page 84//)// ** Janie- ** She is very much said and in the morning phase and she feels lonely but she is mainly caught up in what is to come and how her life is right now. But in a way she is content with her life almost in a relief and happy way. And many men try to court her but she doesn’t pay them any mind.

And then they came to an area that they where going to have to swim a mean dog tried to attack Janie but she was saved by Tea Cake and he was bite. “The dog stood up and growled like a lion, stiff-standing hackles, stiff muscles, teeth uncovered as he lashed up his fury for the charge. Tea Cake split the water like an otter, opening his knife as he dived.” **// ( // Page 157//)// **
 * Tea Cake- ** Feels that the storm is nothing but a big breeze and a light shower and that they have nothing to worry about until they hear the water and try to leave and the water ketches up to them and he is bite by an evil dog and then they make it to safety.

 * Janie- ** has started to notice Tea Cakes weird behaviors once he accused of her giving him bad water but it wasn’t and she couldn’t sleep in bed with Tea Cake because the doctor told her that he has rabies and that he is going to die. And one day Tea Cake got mad at her because she wouldn’t sleep with him and he thinks that because he is sick she is going to go to another man but that isn’t the case so when she laid down with him she found that there was a gun under the pillow and she got scared and removed 3 bullets so that if he was going to shot her she would hear the clicks and have time to prepare. So Tea Cake got mad and tried to shot her and she shot him first and she killed him but he bite her before the shot and then she was put on trial a few hours later because they think she murdered him but all charges where cleared.
 * Tea Cake- ** is very ill because of rabies and is going to die and because of his illness he hasn’t been thinking right and tried to kill Janie but Janie got to him first and then he dies.
