Patterns in chapters 5 and 6
1.Controlling others: Pg. 87. Joe tells Janie to pull her hair back because he was jealous of other men staring at it. Pg. 115. Mrs. Tony asks Joe to cut her a piece of meat for her and her kids but he purposely cuts a much smaller piece. Also Janie's Grandma was controlling  because she made Janie marry Mr. Killicks.
2.Silence:Pg. 69 Joe is giving his governor speach and they ask Janie to speak and Joe tells everyone that she wont. This forced Janie to be silent for the first time in with Joe. This also shows control. Pg.90 Janie says that saying something would just cause 'disagreement and confusion' after she sees the men from the porch tease the mule. Before that she had said something out loud about how she dissaproved and Joe overheard and hated that she said it. This to shows controlling behavior. Janie learns to be silent.
3.Pride:Pg.75 Joe became the governor of the town and people respected him because he was literate and he had this pride that made people want to 'bow-down'. For example his new house was larger than everything else in town almost like a royal castle. He was very pridefull. Pg. 98 Janie wasn't happy and Joe was mad because he thought that she should be because she was mrs governer. He thought that he was doing her good by being governor and giving her fancy things. This shows pride because he is so proud about what he has he doesn't notice why she isn't happy.
