As I read on, in Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie has just married Logan Killicks. She speaks more about his sixty acres than himself, as does Nanny. Nanny is always talking about how great the sixty acres are, and how Janie is going to get the life that she or her mother never had. Nanny says that Logan means protection, which seems to mean that the land is actually what is providing her with protection. The land is making it so that she is financially stable, and therefore is providing protection. Nanny seems to like the land more than Logan, and Janie seems to hate both. There seems to be a connection between Logan and the house.
