During this passage on page 11 of the novel, Janie is grieving over the fact that that she has to marry Logan Killicks. Janie is being forced by nanny to marry Logan by nanny because he gaurentes a safe marriage because he has a lot of money. To illustrate her emotional state, the author utilizes many different tyeps of figurative language including three outstanding metaphors. First, Janie i compared to glossy leaves and bursting buds, which illustrates how her life is just starting to begin and unfold but her life has been held back by this forced marriage. Another metahor utilized to illustrate a similar concept includes the metaphor of the bees singing of the beginning of the world. The last ooutstanding mataphor in the passage is when Janie scans the world, and is "Waiting for the world to unfold."This passage is not illustrated by any dominant tone. It is illustrated by the narrator who uses tones that include bitter, mocking, and it is very ironic. Janie is being represented by ivacious statements to illustrate he depressed state of emotional being.
