"Men made big big fires and fifty or sixty men selpt around each fire. But they had to pay the man whose land they slept on. He ran the fire just like his boarding place-for pay. But nobody cared. They made good money, even for children. So they spent good money."(Hurston, 1937)
This quote talks about how close the people in the environment in this new community in the Everglades was so different and big. Everyone was close and looked out for eachother and were friendly. The people worked during the day and had fun later on during the night. tea Cake and janie were enjoying their life in the Everglades. She liked it better than living in Eatonville where people always talked about her.
"She was sorry for her friends back there and scournful of the others."(Hurston, 1937)
janie was living such a happier life in the everglades that she started to think about Eatonville and what it would be like if she went back their. She thought about her friends and the old men who sat on the porches. She felt sorry that her friends had to stay their in that town. What she didn't miss was the rumors and the rude comments from the people who were jealous of her.
