Yay last post!!!!!! (lol)
So in the last 30pgs of the book a lot of dramatic things occured. Tea Cake got sick out of the blue and was struggling, but trying not to show it to Janie. Their love showed a lot in the ending because they stuck by each other through a lot. Janie tried her best to make him better and once realized that he was going to die she tried to keep him comfortable. The doctor who diagnosed Tea Cake told her that he could go mad and she should watch out for herself. She thought she could handle it, but she kept her self prepared with a gun knowing Tea Cake had one as well. One day when she noticed he was acting extremely wierd they started arguing and he aimed his gun at her. She had been smart nd emptied out most of his gun so she would have time to react if this situation happened. In a loving manner she tried to calm him down, but when that didnt work she had to shoot him! She killed Tea Cake, but out of her safety and for him. She wanted the evil part of him to move on and that was the only way it would happen. Its sad that people acused her of murdering him on purpose! Why would she do that? All that he ever did for her was love her and she loved him back. They should be helping her through this time! The one thing that struck me the most out of the end is after the trial was over and she was declared not-guilty she started to leave, but stopped when she overheard some white men talking. They said that the only reason why she was let go is because Tea Cake was black. If he was a white man she would have been found guilty. WHile reading this i became disgusted to know that people truly thought that way; that who cares about black people and wheter they are alive or dead! Its a horrible thought and if true just shameful. This book gave a lot of messages/morals and overall was a good book.
Peace out!!! (in 4 hours we will be JUNIORS!!!!!)
