A. Childhood: While Janie was young she grew with the white folks, therefore, she thought she was white too. When she got older her nanny told her to see her face in the mirror and she realized she is colored and thus different than the rest. This idea did make her unhappy but she knew how colored people were treated and what position they had in the society. When she was seventeen she had a special connection with the nature. She felt different around nature and she was a different person. When Janie was caught kissing the black person her nanny got mad at her and decided to tell her the truth about who she really is and where her mother was. Nanny told her Janie how hardship she had to face and what her mother had to go through. Nanny taught Janie a big lesson and explained how she was half white and half black. Nanny also wanted Janie to get married to a rich person like Mr. Killcs and she did that before nanny died. From her childhood, Janie learned a big lesson about how money is everything but it doesn't buy happiness.
B. Logan: When Janie lived with Logan she learned how to take of house and cook but she also wondered a lot in the nature and Logan often go angry at her for wondering around everyday and not finishing the tasks she was given. Logan often threaten her but she knew he never meant that. One of the thing she leaned was land and money does not but happiness because she was always bored and lonely. On top she had a 60 year old husband to deal with everyday. I could never be able to live with that old man but apparently Janie figured that out later and finally left him.
C. Jody: She actually loved Jody when she first met him. She was happy and always their with him but as Jody gains more dignity and power he takes away most of Janie's freedom. Jody thought since Janie is a mayors wife she has to act more lady like and not talk to people in the town or laugh and have a good time with them. Jody also made Janie tied her hair because he was jealous how other men gazed at her beauty. Janie hated the idea and also argued with Jody about that but eventually she had to do what Jody asked her. At the end Jody was being to mean to Janie. Jody was getting old and Janie was still young and beautiful therefore he always called Janie an old women in front of everyone to be ashamed off. Janie got mad about that and talked backed to Jody. Jody was angry and slapped her in front of everybody. After that they lived apart until Jody died. Janie learned a lot from this and she often felt sad and unhappy. She was also lonely but she wanted everything between her and Jody to be right. It was just not possible form Jody being so respectful in town and Janie didn't follow what Jody told her. Janie also learned that money does not buy happiness.
