NATURE!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! So much nature in chapter 4, especially at the end. It's actually really described quite well, and was honestly some of the best writing in the book so far. The nature scenes that are depicted in the novel help describe the mood, feel, and time of a certain part of the book. It also adds beauty and symbolism to this book and help move it along. The nature scenes described are also used to foreshadow events that could turn out. For example, Janie speaks of the pear tree. The pear tree represents Janie's dreams, passions, and ideas. She wanted to love Logan, but she just couldn't get to love him. Janie is now out to fulfill her dream of finding true love. She desperately wants to be in love.
The sunset that Janie watches is described as nearly going down under the horizon. This is supposed to hint to us that her marriage with Joe will not end to well, and will most likely be ended. The author described the sun as going into a "crack." A crack is not necessarily a positive and exciting word. This crack could be the same crack that Janie had fallen into with her first marriage with Logan. It might as well end the same.
