In the opening chapter, Janie is returning home from a long journey (we don’t yet know from where). How do townspeople react to her? Compare and contrast this experience to the one she recounts about growing up playing with the Washburn children in Chapter 2.
They towns people act really disrespectful to Janie. Janie looks all dirty and nasty after she comes back from the Everglades with Tea Cake. The people start to make assumptions of what had happened to her. Some say that her man had left her and taken her money. When the town’s people had questioned her she didn’t answer any of their questions. This experience is similar because when she was a child she was criticized for hanging and playing with white people. They are always criticizing her.

you are right about the townspeople but you do not connect it well to when she was a kid.
