Question

Theme is uncovered through the characters and events of a story. Which two events express Janie’s underlying belief that true love is key to her happiness? Select all that apply.
-when Nanny caught her kissing Johnny Taylor outside of her house-when she first met Tea Cake-the spring day when the uniting of the bee and blossom helped her understand the meaning of marriage-when her image of Jody was shattered after he hit her for ruining the dinner

Answer 1

The two events that most relate to Janie's view that true love is the key to happiness are when she meets Tea Cake, and when her image of Jody is shattered after he hits her. This is because when Janie meets Tea Cake, her whole world view changes. He treats her as an equal, and she can be herself around him. Once she falls for him, it changes essentially everything for her. 

Janie's image of Jody "shattering" is also representative of this view of Janie's, because it represents what can happen to one's happiness when they don't  have true love. Janie thought fairly highly of Jody, and she loved him, but when he hits her, her happiness and love for him is gone.
