Journal #4

Patterns:

Pattern 1:
I have noticed the sun is repeated in this novel and i think the sun could represent a higher power.
"Janie are heartily and said nothing. The varicolored cloud dust that the sun had stirred up in the sky was settling by slow degrees." -5

Pattern 2:
The other object that has seemed to become a pattern in the book is the trees.
"Two men who were sitting on their shoulderblades under a huge live oak tree almost sat upright at the tone of his voice. they stared at Joe's face, his clothes and his wife."- 35
This passage could symbolize the tree as a symbol of protection.

Pattern 3:
The pattern of a girl and her blossomy leaves is repeated again.
"She had no more blossomy openings dusting pollen over her man, neither any glistening young fruit where the petals used to be."
I believe that this paragraph is describing how the wife is too old to please her husband and he is to become unsatisfied.
