Journal #1

The adult Janie is very different from child Janie. The adult Janie is a strong and independant person. This is very different form the person she was as a child. The circumstances of her life changed her from a dependant scared girl to a woman. Her childhood was very different from mosts. Raised by a grandmother with no parents in sight she learned to let things roll of her back and to carry on. She is the person she is today because of her past.
The narrator is a middle aged female. We can infer this about the narrator by the writing style and the use of specific words and phrases. She seems so knowledgeable about hardships and our cross to bear in life. She talks alot about the past, something ladies do more often then men. She also seems to understand the problems Janie is facing, she writes in a empthetic stlye. She writes in a way that makes us feel the way the characters, see what they see and feel what they feel by her common relatable word choice. The simple and easy to understand style of writing lets us put ourselves into the story.
