quote: What was she losing so much time for? A feeling of sudden newness and change came over her. Janie hurried out of the front gate and turned south. Even if Joe was not there waiting for her, the change was bound to do her good.
why: the author uses this to progress the story, and to display Janie's character in many more dimensions. Janie was not going to sit back and take this verbal abuse much longer, so she ran away to seek new love and a new life. This definitively adds depth to her character at this time in the book, and helps the story pick up with new excitement and fresh start, keeping the reader reading.
