Jornal entry: janies changes, and motivations

Janie has gone through radical change in the last two chapters. her past marriages both ended in what should be defined as disappointment, and hurt full. this gives Janie a very cynical outlook on the idea of men and of marriage. but then Tea Cake comes along and dramatically changes her attitude by treating her like a person as opposed to a second class citizen as her past husbands had. through the course of chapters 11-12, Janie slowly becomes trusting and positive. she also becomes confident in her appearance, outlooks, and actions. when relating her changes through the book, it can be observed that Janie becomes experience and intelligent as time goes on, but only now is she able to use these things she has gained and channel them towards a positive outlook on life. She also now has new motivation. she wants to make Herself and tea cake happy, and doesn't care about the opinions of others other than tea cake. she wants to start a new life for love and not out of what others pressure her to do, but for what she desires.
