Their Eyes Were Watching God- Significance of the Title

Their Eyes Were Watching God, actually has a big meaning in the book, and it really does mean something. The title starts off with the word Their. Their is a plural word, which represents the community and partnership during the book. It represents how the three people at the end of the book had to work together to fight off the big hurricane that was coming through the Everglades. Tea Cake, Janie, and Motor Boat stuck together for awhile and try to fight the storm. Tea Cake and Janie later have to leave Motor Boat though. The other big word in the title is God. This word in the title is a big deal in the book. They show us in the book that God is all powerful, and always wants to make sure that people know that he is in control at all times. Janie and Tea Cake knew that the hurricane was coming, but Tea Cake thought that they would be just fine, and they could make it throught the hurricane together. Tea Cake got way too confident, and thought he was a big guy on the muck, and he could make it through it. I think God wanted to show him that he should have listened to the other people for once. So God put him through the storm, and Tea Cake eventually left the mucks and got to safety in fear of the storm. The whole time they were always looking up to God for safety, because at times they did not think they were going to make it. While reading this book, you got little clues on the title, but the biggest one is just what God put them through during the hurricane. God kept them safe, but he just wanted to show them that he was always in control, and at any moment can create a storm, like the hurricane he created. I think that this title really showed up a lot in this book, and really had a good meaning to it.
