This mule guy, right, is mistreated, overworked, and neglected. The townspeople poked fun of the mule after is escaped from the farmer, and Janie heard this. She thought that it was extremely unfair and mildly objected to it. Jodie, hearing this, bought the mule, to make Janie happy. This act by Jodie is considered to be very "noble" and he was even compared to Abraham Lincoln for the Emancipation Proclamation, which is the most absurd thing that I have ever heard, by the way.
Janie loves this animal because, just like her, the mule doesn't have a voice. It cannot fend for itself. Janie has been told what to do in her marriages, whether it's working for Logan out in the fields, or staying put and being quiet for Jody. She is never able to do what she wants and is always controlled. By standing up for the mule, she in a way stands up for herself. She does not want other creatures to suffer.

NIce Job Priest. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog. I agree with you about how Janie can relate to the mule because they both do not have a big voice because of the ruling figures in their lives. Nice work buddy keep it up.
Rory great job. How articulate of you to note that the "Mule Guy" was being mistreated, overworked, and neglected. You are right that is true, and I like how you included the voice thing... about how they both don't have a voice in their society! (Scottie beat me to the punch but its okay) Thats how awesome this blog is you have two comments on it now!!! Keep up the great work!
