The change in Janie

The biggest change in Janie is her thinking for herself. In chapter 12 she stop listening to all the advice the men of Eatonville are giving her in chapter 11 and follows her heart on her situation with Tea Cake. This is also a big change from Janie earlier in teh book where her opinion is easily swayed by her grandmother and the other people she cares for like Jody. This change of Janie forming her own beliefs and opinions in stead of her conforming to other peoples views is all part of her growth.
