Pg. 85 “Naw, Jody, Ah come in heah tuh talk widja and Ah’m goin tuh do it too. It’s for both of our sakes Ah’m talkin’.”
This was the first time Janie demanded something. She made Jody listen to her and hear what she had to say. Janie knew he was on his was on his death bed so she had one last chance to tell him how she really felt deep down inside before he die and it will be too late.

Pg.85 “Naw, Jody, it wasn’t because Ah didn’t have no sympathy; Ah just didn’t git no chance tuh use none of it because you wouldn’t let me.”
Janie let Jody know she tried to benevolent and nice person. She tried to show him sympathy by caring about him but he would not let her. Janie tell Joe that he never knew the real her because he did not allow her to show her true identity and be herself. She let him know how he never let her show sympathy and speak out for herself because he was too busy listening to his own voice.
