Question

Their eyes were watching god. Janie says that “ mourning oughtn’t tuh last no longer’n grief” Is Janie right about this? Explain why she is right

Answer 1

Janie's strength bespeaks itself when she says “Let 'em say whut dey wants tuh, Pheoby.To my thinking mourning oughtn't tuh last no longer'n grief”. Janie's response to Pheoby is a clear indication that she aims to take control of her life away from the community and to put it back into her own hands.
