Their Eyes Were Watching God: Journal 2

The setting affects the perspective of which you see the novel in. It sets you in this time period, and lets you know how thing were like and what the situation was like. With that it lets you see the story in a totally different perspective. In this novel, the setting lets you know that it's during the time period of slavery in the south. Which gave all the characters the thought of what it was like to be free. With that thought, it led to Janie's grandmother decision on Janie's marriage. Her grandmother would have never imagine her marrying a reverend like Logan. But her grandmother knew that he was able to provide her with food and shelter and with that thought, she wanted Janie to marry him. But not a single thought of love was in this marriage, only survival. Along with that affect of the setting, it also gives that feeling of that belief of equality, brightness, freedom, as the sky would clear up and everything would be calm.
