chapter Twelve

Pg. 110 “Tea Cake and Mrs. Mayor Starks! All the men that she could get, and fooling with somebody like Tea Cake!”
The people in town start to notice things between Janie and Tea Cake. Some are mad because out of the men she could have she choose Tea Cake. The town thinks Tea Cake is just using her for her money and she will end up like Miss Tyler.
Pg. 112 “Jody classed me off. Ah didn’t.”

Janie explains to Pheoby that she did not class off; it was Joe that made her. Janie always wanted to go out and have fun, but the Jody wanted her to stay in the house and do nothing. He didn’t want her to hang out with people out of her class because she was the Mayors wife and he wanted her to look and act like it.
