Their Eyes Were Watching God- The Three Marriages

Janie was in a total of three different marriages in her life. Her second marriage was the longest, but not necessarily the best. The first two marriages did not work out as good as the third one did. Her first marriage was with Logan Killicks. When she got married to Logan, she was not really ready to be married, her grandmother kind of made her. Her marriage with Logan did not last very long because he was not very nice to her. He abused her verbally and physically. While she was married to Logan, a man named Joe Starks met her, and they fell in love. Joe was very nice to her, so she left Logan. Joe told her he wanted to move away and start a new town themselves. They moved away together, to a town called Eatonville, and Joe became the mayor, and she became the mayor’s wife. They really enjoyed it for awhile. They also ran a store there. After a while though, Joe was not being very nice to her and Janie did not love him as much. Joe ended up dying not very much longer after. She was not a widow very long, and met a guy named Vergible Woods, who everybody called Tea Cake. Some people did not really like this, because she had not been single for very long. She did not care though, because no one’s opinion mattered but hers. She married Tea Cake, and together they moved down to the Everglades, so they could work. They were so happy, and so in love with each other. A big hurricane came through, and they had to run away. They also had to swim through some parts. During one part, they were swimming and a dog tried to attack Janie, so Tea Cake saved her an ended up getting bit by the dog. He later on got the mad dog disease from it. He did not live through it, and it was a very sad experience for everyone. Janie really took it hard; because that was the man she was in love with.
