Chapter 7 Quotes

"When you pull down yo' britches, you look lak de change uh life."
My assumption on this quote is that Janie is saying that Joe is rather "small" in the pants. Joe and Janie are arguing, and suddenly Janie states her insult. Joe does not find this respectful and soon hits Janie. Also, I think that this quote is saying that Joe cannot meet the standard requirement for male enhancement.

"The years took all the fight out of Janie's face."
My opinion on this quote is that Janie is aging. After all of the years Janie is getting tired of Joe holding her back from all of her friends. Janie feels trapped and held back from the world because of Joe. Janie feels that all she get is money, but she does not get what she actually wants. The quote is mainly describing how Joe is holding Janie back from life, and what she really wants.
