Their Eyes Were Watching God, Chapter 18

"The time was past for asking the white folks what to look for through that door. Six eyes were questioning God."(Hurston, 1937)

When the storm that noone believed was going to come started to brew up in the sky, people realized that the indians were right and that it was too late to find them and get help. The depended on God to make a miracle happen and end the storm that was about to happened. Tea Cake was used to seeing this kind of weather because he is always their but janie hasn't always been in the Everglades.

"If you kin see de light at daybreak, you don't keer if you die at dusk. It's so many people never seen de light at all. Ah wuz fumblin' round and God opened de door."(Hurston, 1937)

When Tea Cake asked janie if she were to die, would she be mad at him for bringing her to the Everglades she said no. i think that with this quote, janie was letting Tea Cake know how grateful she was to even be able to live to see the Everglades and experience the things that she has experienced. She was saying how she had been locked up from the rest of the world and God helped her see the better things in life.
