In chapter 8 Janie was cruel to Jody even though he was on his death bed.  In my opinion, Janie is a little too focused on her own needs to be a good person.  Yes I agree that it is important to express yourself and to do what you want to do, but it is also important to consider others.  She made Jody’s final moments painful and must have made him feel very unloved and worthless before he died.  Janie also moves on immediately, she is happy with her freedom because of Jody’s death and feigns mourning to the townspeople.  After about 6 months she begins talking to a man who goes by the name of Tea Cake, he is charming and funny and nothing like Jody or Logan.  I thought it was interesting how Tea Cake offered to play checkers with her which apparently is not something that women are often allowed to do.  I feel that Tea Cake is a good possible husband for Janie simply because he treats her as an equal more than any man that Janie has ever met.  However although they are a good match I still think that Janie is a selfish person and is completely self centered; she only wants things for herself and gets upset when she doesn’t get her own way.
