My view on the book

The horizon represented new opportunities and each man that she was with opened up doors and helped her with different challenges; the significance of the last paragraph show that she is going to show in a positive way how her opportunities changed her. In the book Janie said that horizon was new opportunities. That means that when someone puts a new thing in front of her she will either take it or leave it. Most of the time she would take the chance. Each man she was with opened doors and helped her with challenges. The first man she was with Logan killicks showed her that love wasn’t in every relationship. The second man she was with Joe Starks the mayor had a lot of money and opened up a store. That marriage showed that money can change a person that you think you and they really don’t. And the last man that she was withTea Cake showed her what love is and how money doesn’t show love it’s the felling in the heart. In that last paragraph Janie talks about her horizons and how she is going to take them off her waist and put them on her shoulders. She will show people how the opportunities in her life helped her change as a person into an INDEPENDENT woman.

One day about five years ago, everybody use to talk on the phone. I know that you are saying that we did that already but just keep listening. There was a girl named Mindy Txtone. She used to talk on the phone all the time. From early morning to real late at night. When she went to school, the teachers could not get her get her off the phone. The teachers would threaten her with all type of punishment but she still did not care. After that, she would get in trouble but she still did not care and she still kept talking on the phone. Everybody in the town wanted to know whom she was talking too. She never told anybody. When she would talk on the phone, they would talk about everything. She was loud when she talked on the phone and that means that everybody knew her business without knowing her business. One night while Mindy was sleep, a fairy flew in to the room where Mindy was sleeping and sprinkled some kind of dust on her and flew out. One morning Mindy woke up and was not talking on the phone. Even when she went to school, she was not talking on the phone. Everyone was shocked. She walked around looking sad and down. Later that day found a new phone sitting next to her bed, had a key board on it, and there was a note sitting next to it the note said:
There is something called texting and I want you to try it.
All that time she was talking to her grandmother that was looking down on her from heaven. Now she texts her grandmother all the tin every day like she was talking on the phone. This is how texting started today
