"She had waited all her lie for something, and it killed her when it found her."(Hurston, 1937)
The author talked about Annie Tyler and how she ran off and got married to a man and he took all of her money. The man left her with nothing and she became poor and started begging people on the streets for money. She then died alone. She waited all her life for a husband and it didn't out like she hope. Janie was afraid she would end up this way with Tea Cake.
"Dem wuzn't no high muckty mucks. Dem wuz railroad hands and dey womenfolks. You ain't usetuh folks lak dat and Ah wuz skeered you might git all mad and quit me for takin' you 'mongst'em."(Hurston, 1937)
When Tea Cake took janie's money he bought food for his fellow workers and had a party. he didn't invite her because he thought she was more used to being around wealthy people and living the high life that she wouldn't want to be surrounded by people of a lower status than her. It was jody that made it seem as if she enjoyed living a prosperous life. janie didn't care what kind of people Tea Cake brought her around and wanted to be included.
