TEWWG

"At dat she ain't so ole as some of y'all dat's talking...Tea Cake ain't been no boy for some time. He's round thirty his ownself." (page 3)

This tells us that Janie Starks is over 40 years old and is still dating (or looking for) younger guys. Though they say that the one she's with is around 30, so he's not a boy by any means. But this also tells us that Janie looks good outwardly for being over 40 (referring back to "the men noticed her firm buttocks....then her pugnacious breasts trying to bore holes in her shirt.") and she can get younger guys to pay attention to her.

Sam,

are you finished with the book? You don't have many journal blogs. I'm trying to give feedback for your essays.
