In This quote Hurston changes her Dialect style. Usually Hurston uses names in reference to when someone is talking to or about someone else. Yet in this quote Hurston Clearly Hurston shows who is talking and wants to emphasize the speaker.

2.) "Ah know it and dat's what puts de shamery on me. You'se jus' disgusted wid me. Yo' jus' left here and went off somewhere else. Naw, you ain't mad wid me. Ah be glad if you was, 'cause then Ah might do somethin' tuh please yuh. But lak it is-"

In this passage Hurston is trying to emphasize something because in all the other dialects the word here is spelled different. Yet here Janie is talking and the words here is spelled here. So the place where they are must be emphasized.

3.) One day Hezekiah asked off from work to go off with the ball team. Janie told him not to hurry back. She could close up the store herself this once. He cautioned her about the catches on the windows and doors and swaggered off to Winter Park.

In this Passage Hurston really changes her style of her relationships with men and women. When she uses the word "asked" it shows that Hezekiah might be afriad of Janie, so to say that she would be the one in the higher position. This could conclude that Hurston thinks that women may be in a higher position than man in certain relationships.
