    Their Eyes Were Watching God Tree Analysis

    Janie’s concept of marriage is unique in her own, sixteen year old, eyes. “Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the suffered, things enjoyed, things done and undone. Dawn and doom was in the branches.” (pg. 8) Janie saw her marriages like bees who visit the beautiful blossoms of the pear tree, her life was formed around this tree because of the experiences she had underneath it. She experienced love and life that she wants to replicate. Janie also knows that her life and loved ones would bring her joy and suffering and not everything would be what she hoped for. Joe Starks to Janie was the opposite of her pear tree---he was the suffering. Just like Logan, Jody did not give Janie her ideal pear tree image. “Janie pulled back a long time because he did not represent sun-up and pollen and blooming trees, but he spoke for far horizon.” (pg. 29) Hurston uses the word “sun-up” to symbolize hope and “pollen and blooming trees” to symbolize sex and new life, but Jody did not give her these things he only gave her fortune. Janie's relationship to Jody was also very poor because there was a lack of communication between the two and too much…

    The Pact: Three Teenagers To Become Doctors

    Peer pressure can act both positively and negatively. The three friends were influenced by peer pressure to become doctors. George was the most influential personality in the story and he influenced his friends a great deal in appositive way. The friends were always there to ensure that a friend that was losing hope was reassured and returned to the right track. However, the power of negative peer pressure is also evident in the story. The three friends were always in trouble due to the influence of their criminal friends. This is the reason why both Rameck and Sam had already been convicted for having engaged in criminal activities. When Rameck shared his aspiration of becoming a doctor with his neighbourhood friends, they laughed off his dreams, as they believed that they were not attainable. Had Rameck remained in this kind of friendship, definitely it would have been impossible for him to become a doctor. However, the positive peer pressure from his friends influenced him to live his dream.

Two of the three friends had come from fatherless families thus lacking any role model. Moreover, being blacks and living in the slums exposed the three in negativity of life raging from crime, drug addiction and hopelessness. However, the three youngsters…
