Janie speaks

Janie was on trial because she had killed Teacake. They believed that she might have killed him out of hate and not because Teacake had been bitten and went crazy. Janie wanted so much for the court to know that she loved Teacake so much and it was difficult for her to have had killed him. She was not as quick to speak because she was on trial and she had just lost her husband and the one she really loved. They did the trial right after his death and she just thought the worst thing worse than death sentence would be for them to think that she killed him out of hate and that Janie didn’t truly love Teacake. Janie wanted so bad for them to understand what happened and she talked about how she wanted to explain everything to make sure they knew and to explain it well so that they knew how much she loved him. She took her time to make sure that she got her point across.
