14. Joe "Jody" Starks (pg. 28)

Jody is a well off, and he is a little bit of a sweet talker. Janie is instantly attracted to the glamor of his life. He wants to buy land so he can have power instead of white men. This could tell us something about his character- he likes to be in control meaning he won't tolerate anything Janie does to get out of hand. He likes sweet things (like syrup in his water)- he finds it bitter when someone else has power over him, and he doesn't like that.
