"'So Ah'm back home agin and Ah'm satisfied tuh be heah. Ah done been tuh de horizon and back and now Ah kin set heah in mah house and live by comparisons.'"
She realize that she been through alot with variety of men and no man can treat her the best except for God. And no matter out of all the places she been, no place is like home in Janie mindset.
"Here was peace. She pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see."
She was finally set at home and found out the only person who truly love her is her, no one else knows her true feelings and emotions like she do. And she would rather be home that to be hurt again and use for someone else dream.

CHAPTER12 QUOTES
"It was after the picnic that the town began to notice things and got mad."
After they noticed Janie and Tea Cake took intrest in one another people start to become jealous and angry. They became jealous because thier were other people in town who liked both of them and became mad because they thought tea cake only wanted her money. I think they should motivate them so they can love eachother more instead of trying to tear them apart.
"Cause Tea Cake aint no Jody Starks, and if he tried tuh be, it would be uh complete flommuck"
This means someone was comparing Tea Cake to Joe and it was two totally different side. I personally think they can not be compared because Jody and Tea Cake treated Janie two different ways and they had two different personality's.

CHAPTER11 QUOTES
"[Tea Cake] looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom - a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God."
He is describing a womans beauty using a bee. He's saying that she has a natural scent that no one else has and she a one of a kind. I personally think this is a good way to describe a woman because you are comparing her to somthing that is rich and beautiful.
"Moon's too pretty fuh anybody tuh be sleepin' it away"
This means that the night is still young and beautiful to waste. When it;s a night like this and you are trying to be romantic i think its good to go on a walk or go catch a movie. You shouldnt just sit in the house and waste time. but in some cases its okay to stay in and entertain eachother by cooking, playing games, watching movies, etc.

"Joes funeral was the finest thing Orange County had ever seen with negro eyes."
When Joe died i believe it made a huge impact on most of the people in the town. Due to the fact that he was the mayor, black, and was a role his death impacted alot of people.
