Working with Tea Cake
When Janie and Tea Cake arrive in the Everglades everything is a lot different than before with her other husbands. She works at home all by herself at first and doesn't hate it, but also doesn't love it. One day Tea Cake comes home from work and asks her to work with him on the muck because he misses her everyday he leaves her. Janie agrees to work with him, but only because he doesn't force her. He doesn't come home and say Janie your going to work on the muck with me. He comes home and asks her and she has the decision to. This is different from both of her other husbands. Both Jody and Logan made her work without even asking. This is why Janie is so quick to work beside Tea Cake on the muck.

Ryan, man, awesome post...I must say. I think you hit a home run with the comment about how Janie chose to work because she was given the choice by Tea Cake, whereas with Logan and Jody she was always told what to do and she was never given a choice. Her new found freedom is invigorating for her, and it makes her want to work.
