Janie's return

In the first two chapters Janie comes home from where ever she was. The townspeople start to judge Janie because she comes home in overalls and doesn't stop by to say hi to any of her friends. Her close friend, Phoeby, goes over to Janie's house with some food for her to eat. Phoeby tells Janie that everyone in town is talking about her. Janie starts to tell Pheoby her story and what happened while she was away. Janie's husband, Tea Bag, died and that is the only reason why she returned back home. In the second chapter Janie and Pheoby go to dinner and start to talk about their pasts. Phoeby talks about how all the other girls were always jealous of Janie because she got white kids' hand-me downs. Janie was raised differently from all the other children because her owners treated her with higher standards compared to other black children.
