janie finding herself

After Joe’s death Janie feels that she can now be herself and show others and herself that she is worth more than the widow of the mayor and this helps her bring up her self esteem from being put down by Joe. It is important for the entire world to find Janie so that they can know that she is smarter than Joe made her out to be and that she is capable of living her life without a man controlling her. She also wants people to see her as a nice and friendly person and not stuck up like they thought she was because Joe wouldn’t let her talk to them and it made her seem like Janie and Joe thought she was better than the rest. By doing this and talking more with people it can help her learn more about herself which she never had a good chance to do because of her marrying to at as young age and never being able to enjoy her life and find herself because basically she grew up to fast. She never got a chance to live out her life like others were able to do.
