Journal Entry #3:

#1 page 27 Alliteration- "Round dust dark Ah reckon."

The author uses this at the particular part of the book to show how characters talk, since they probably did not have a very accurate way of telling time, this is used to give an example.

#2 page 27 Imagery- "It was cityfied, stylish dressed man with his hat set set at an angle that didn't belong in these parts. His coat was over his arm, but he didn't need it to represent his clothes. The shirt with the silk sleeveholders was dazzling enough for the world."

The uses this at this time to show how fancy this man is, and to see why Janie was attracted to him. If he was shown as some normal person it wouldn't make sense why she was excited.

#3 page 30 Situational Irony- "'S'posin' Ah wuz to run off and leave yuh sometime." "There! Janie had put words in his held-in fears."

The author uses this at this time to give some insight on what Janie is thinking, and also tell the reader just a little bit of what Logan is thinking.

#4 page 32 Conflict- "Turned the hoe-cake with a plate and then made a little laugh. What was she losing so much time for? A feeling of sudden newness and change came over her. Janie hurried out of the front gate and turned south. Even if Joe was not there waiting for her, the change was bound to do her good."

The author does this to show what Janie is thinking, and give more information on this character, isntead of just saying "Janie Left" it allows more thought because you can see Janie's internal conflicts.

#5 page 32 Mood- "Fromj now on until death she was going to have flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything. A bee for her bloom. Her old thoughts were going to come in handy no, but new words would have to be made and said to fit them."

The author uses this to create a happy mood, and show that there maybe is hope for Janie, besides just living on a small farm and having to do just about as much physical work as her husband.
