==__In chapter five-__ When Jody and Jane get together, everything was changed. Jody was way different than Logan because he had aspirations and dreams while Logan was a hard worker. Jody treats Jane better than Logan did which means they were brought up differently. Since they both are different people, it might have meant they weren’t brought up with similar cultures, which leads to cultural differences. Cultural differences can be caused by the way you were raised or brought up. - Katelynn Holliday.==

Everytime they hang out during the night time she has to make sure no one notice that they are interacting with each other.

Chapter 12 After pinic it seemed that the only thing everyone was talking about was the relationship between tea cake and janie. Some people didnt appreciate Janie a widow of the mayor dating a poor man. They too seem to think that Tea Cake is only in it for the money.In my opinion i think he really truely loves her.** **Sam Watson talkes to Phoeby and ask her to talk to jaine because they dont want her to end up like Ms. Tyler a widow who was cheated by a younger man.She tells the women that she doesnt want to live by her nannys ways any more and she wants to start over. She wants to be her own person and i really respect that about her in the book.I like the fact also that her attitude changes in this chapter and she doesnt care what the other**

people think about her.-olivia barnes
