Janie’s horizon is her life in front of her and each man has pushed her forward in some way: at the end of the book she became fully aware of what’s next in her life. The first man was the first boy she’d ever kissed. He broadened her horizon by showing her what men were useful for other than working. Even though it was only a crush she still change a lot that day on how she thought of men. I even think that’s why it seemed like she fell in love with so many men. She was getting saw use to experiencing the band between two people.
The next man to widen her horizon in a small way was the man her grandma set her up with. He showed her hard work and how to do things on her own. He showed by making her do everything he does himself every day. That was something she found later but knew how to take care of herself at the end.
The next man is the mayor who showed her something that she didn’t want to see. He showed her that they’re bad men behind the gifts and those men with money needs something to make their world perfect and she didn’t want to be that something.
Last there is tea cake the smooth talking young fellow who has a little gambling problem. Her and tea cake was good to each but wasn’t good for each other. Tea cake showed her what love really was but the price of that lesson was too great for Janie and the people of town. They knew that they shouldn’t of been together but they couldn’t do anything because it was her life. Because of that life she’s been through bad lessons and good lessons come from the men she’s been with. In the end she was blissful and at peace with herself and her life she seemed that she learned what she had to learn.
