Journal #6:

page 122, Hyperbole- "When the fellow began to pick the box the people being to come from east, west, north and Australia."
This is used to give an overstatement about something that is going on. It also gives the effect of a fisherman's tale when they are describing how bit a fish is that they caught. It displays some characterization at the same time.

page 127, simile in dialect- "Baby, Ah run mah other arm in mah coat-sleeve and grabbed dat nigger by his necktie befo' he could bat his eye and then ah wuz all over 'im jus' lak gravy over rice."
The authro uses this at this point to show how good of a fighter Tea Cake supposively is, but at the same time using dialect to show how much into this fighting he likes, he also is highly into gambling. We are now shown a different and new side besides this romantic and young lover side he has shown Janie.

page 136 -situational irony "Ah b'lieve yuh been messin' round her!"
This is situational irony because Janie in a way is getting a taste of her own medicine for leaving her first husband. The author does this to show how jealous Janie is getting, and show how much she has been worrying about this other girl and Tea Cake.
