In these chapters, Janie develops her relationship with Tea Cake.  They begin to meet up with one another even though Tea Cake is much younger than her.  Tea Cake anounces his love for her but she is unsure about how she feels because she is worried that he may take her money and also because he is so much younger than her and doesn’t understand why he would be interested in her.  I thought that it was pretty ridiculous how Janie is already rushing into another relationship.  Although Tea Cake is very different from her previous husbands, she still rushed into the relationship with somebody she didn’t know very well.  In my opinion, she is focused on instant gratification from her relationships and as a result jumps into relationships with only a first impression to base them off of.  I didn’t understand why Tea Cake would steal Janie’s money and spend it on food for a bunch of railroad workers.  It was a nice thing to do, but it wasn’t his money to spend.  I think Janie likes Tea Cake because he treats her as an equal and also because he adds excitement to her life by making her worry about when he was coming home and because the relationship is very controversial in town.
