Their Eyes Were Watching God follows the life of Janie Crawford, a girl of mixed black and white heritage, around the turn of the century...which was not an easy time to be of mixed race. As an adolescent, Janie sees a bee pollinating a flower in her backyard pear tree and becomes obsessed with finding true love. (Because there's nothing hotter than a little bee-on-flower action.)

From there, the novel documents her emotional growth and maturity through three marriages.

Janie’s first marriage, to farmer Logan Killicks, is planned and executed by Janie’s well-intentioned grandmother, Nanny. Unfortunately, Nanny's plan doesn't go so well. In this marriage, Janie chafes under the uninspired but reliable Logan.

Make that uninspired, reliable...and abusive. After he threatens to kill her for not obeying him, Janie leaves Logan for the suave and ambitious Joe Starks.

Joe takes Janie to Eatonville, Florida, America’s first all-black city, where she lives the high life as the mayor’s wife. However, Janie finds that her husband has very rigid definitions of a woman’s role. Joe often silences Janie and refuses to listen to others’ opinions...which is no kind of good.

As Joe grows old, he tries to divert public attention from his failing body by accusing Janie of acting too young for her age. Finally, Janie can’t bear it anymore and lashes out at Joe, insulting his manhood and pride. Joe is deflated and takes to his deathbed, refusing to let Janie visit him. Janie bursts into Joe's room in his final moments and speaks her mind.

After his untimely death, Janie dons widow’s clothes and lives happily as a single woman until she meets a slick and fun-loving vagrant named Tea Cake. Although Tea Cake is 12 years younger than Janie, with him she finds the true love she has dreamed of all her life. In their relationship, both sides experience bouts of jealousy, but Janie and Tea Cake eventually find happiness working in the fields of the Everglades and mingling with the migrant workers.

Disaster arrives in the form of a hurricane. Tea Cake is given plenty of warnings about its coming and even an opportunity to flee, but he chooses to stay on the "muck" for the love of money. The hurricane strikes with divine ferocity, forcing all of the Everglades’ inhabitants to either leave or die. While fleeing the storm, Tea Cake saves Janie from a ferocious dog but gets himself bitten in the process.

Tea Cake gets rabies, and his natural jealousy turns into aggressive suspicion and paranoia over Janie. In the end, Janie is forced to shoot her husband to protect herself—rabies is not pretty. Though she's put on trial for murder, she's pronounced innocent.

After Tea Cake’s funeral, Janie returns home to Eatonville. There, she meets up with her old friend, Pheoby Watson, and tells her the whole story. This narration to Pheoby provides the framing for the whole novel.

Answer:

JUST WROTE THIS, IT IS A WHOLE 5 PARADRAPH ESSAY, WITH AT LEAST 5 SENTENCES PER PAREGRAGH. CORRECT GRAMER, SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION:) I WOULD READ THROUGH IT JUST IN CASE THOUGH:-\ BRAINLIEST IS REQUIERD:-) AS WELL AS THANKING AND NO LESS THAN 5 STARS :-) ^-^ "-" ^-^(-:

    Both novels The Dark Game and The Coded Book are both similar and different in many ways. They are books that cover accounts of spies during a war. They are very different styles of writing that will be compared and contrasted in this essay. The novels, The Dark Game and The Code Book both reveal information about the life of spies and the history of espionage, though they present the information using very different styles and tone.  

    The Code Book and The Dark Game are similar in many ways, one being that both explore code breaking. This was a very difficult process but also very necessary for the victory that the US took from the two wars that these books focus on. Another similarity that these books have is that they are both non fiction books. All though they are written with very separate styles both books use true and actual events. Lastly they both explore historical events during a war. As just mentioned both books use real historical events that did take place during their war. As seen above both The code Book and The Dark Game have many similarities, but they also have many differences.

    One of the first major differences between both books is that they are written with completely different styles of writing. The book The Dark Game is a narrative story. A narrative story is a story that Is written to engage the reader more and this is done by using things like dialogue and drama. The dark game used a very vivid description of events to try to dramatize it more. And it has a conversational tone unlike The Code Book, that attempts to make the reading more like the story. The Dark Game is a narrative story that is written more like a story. But how is The Code Book Written?

    The Code Book Is written as an expository story. This means that it’s main focus is to inform rather than entertain. The Code Book had lots of dense details that are just there to solely teach the reader. This is obviously much different compared to The Dark Game in the sense that one The Code Book wants to inform and The dark game wants to entertain, but also remember that despite the more story feeling that The Dark Game portrays it is still a Very factual book. The Code Book also had a more scientific\ jargon tone to it. This means that it is more professional in some aspects and that it is very point by point event by event type book. The Code book Is an expository story that is written with a purpose to inform not to entertain.

    Though very different book's both effectively get their style of writing across. The Dark Game Is a Narrative story that is there to teach the reader about true historical events and is also trying to entertain them at the time. The code book is an expository that's only purpose is to teach\ inform the reader about true historical events. The Code Book and The Dark Game both are historical novels that although are written with different tone and style both are historical details from an war. The books are very similar and different in many ways and in the end it is up to the reader to choose what experience they want to have like learning about spies.

CaHeK987 [17]
