Janie has the Blues

Janie goes through many confusing objectives in her life while trying to figure out how to be happily married. Her grandmother helps her which doesn't help at all. Her grandmother tells her that she must get married with the man that she chose for her. Even though Janie says that she doesn't love him. Janie's Nanny insists that eventually the love will come. So poor Janie agrees and gets married. Nanny told her that she didn't want her to struggle as much as she did when she was younger. Which was a life of being a slave, and her being with logan would relieve her worries about Janie having to struggle. Janie finally realizes that this wasn't love or how marriage is. Janie later in her life found a man that she thought was the perfect one. Someone she can make her dream of being happily married. But he wasn't the one. As years go on Janie has not been self satisfied and has remained quiet and just working. Janie has gone through a lot to reach her goal in life.

Questions and Answers

Right now Janie has a lot of questions to how her life is going right now. But this goes for everyone. When people are young everyone's minds are full of questions, and over the years the questions get answered. More problems come and they are bigger. For example, if she really loved her husband Logan and if she really wants to stay with him. Over the years she finds out that she doesn't love him. She also finds out what love is as a woman. The quote,"There are years that ask questions and years that answer." I think that majority of her problems now will be answered in the years to come in her life. Unfortunately, she will have more problems coming to her maybe even bigger.
