Zora Neale Hurston Scene Response
When Janie responds to Joe's choice pertaining to Matt's donkey, she gives a speech all of the townspeople find remarkable. Joe decided to buy Matt's donkey to put it down because it had been malnourished. As Janie said in her speech it was an act, "...Like George Washington and Lincoln..." She compared Joe to the two presidents in taht he had control of an area so he freed what needed to be freed in that area. The last speech that Janie made, she was denounced for since it hurt Joe's reputation, but this one since she helped Joe she was praised. It goes to explain their relationship further.
