IOP Journal 2

As I reread the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, I am convinced more than ever that the homes are significant and mean something. There is a lot of description of Janie's home growing up. She describes a lot living with the "white folks" and also about the place that Nanny saved up and bought for them to live on. The land and homes are important in Janie's lives as she talks about them a lot, as she tells her story to Phoebe. Maybe the homes represent what part of Janie's life she is in.
