I think that Janie has to handle way too much for her age, only being 16. For instance, she has to travel with her husband who’s about 20 years older than herself, and help him with a buisness negiotiation.  ” Lemme speak to mah wife an Ah’m goin’ see de man. You cannnot have no town without some land to build it on. Y’all ain’t got enough here to cuss a cat on without gittin’ yo’ mouf full of hair.” This is way to much for a sixteen year old girl to handle.

I’m also finding the book takes a long time to read because most of the words are in slang, and it takes a long time to comprehend what the word actually means in English.
