Chapter 1 Quotes

"Shops at a distance have every man's wish on board."
I think that this quote means either two reasons, and one reason is that it could be a ship that leads to a better place or surroundings were someone can have a better life for themselves. Another reason is that the ship could be work or heading towards somewhere were work is needed with good benefits in the long run.

"Ah hears what they say 'cause they just will collect round mah porch 'cause it's on de big road."
I thinks the meaning of this quote is that Janie feels that people are going to sit around collect information, and people are going to talk a lot. However, Janie already know that they are going to collect information or rumors on the porch from what goes on on the big road.
