75. "The seeds reminded Janie of Tea Cake more than anything else because he was always planting things." (pg. 191)
In a way Tea Cake planted Janie. He was the beginning of true life for her. He didn't hold her back, but rather helped her to push forward and grow. He taught her new things, even some things that people thought a woman doesn't need to know (checkers, fishing, how to shoot, etc). Janie's life revolved around Tea Cake.

Wow, Elise, that's a beautiful insight. I'd never thought of Tea Cake as Janie's farmer and planter. Not only did her life revolve around Tea Cake, her 'real life' was started by him. And his life revolved around her, the way a farmers life revolves around his crops.
Elise - this is good. Use the seed motif.
