I'm going to go with something that doesn't necessarily talk about Janie in the story...sorry to be the odd one out. There were a few places that the definition of race and differences really stuck out to me. Towards the end (when Janie was in Palm Beach County?) there was a lot of race factors brought up, and I find it intriguing that this part of the story (with the more equal standing between Janie and the world, as a few of you have mentioned) it's a prominent subject.

Not only is the black/white race divide (and the grey area) brought up, but some of the racist comments made about the Indians were surprising in the context. It brings up the complexity of racial divisions when one "minority" looks down on other minorities... The lighter folks (occasionally) look down on the darker ones-like Mrs. Turner, or one people who have fought for equality in the eyes of another who look down on another people with the same battle in their hands- "Indians are dumb anyhow, always were"(155). I always though making stereotypes based on race were stupid, though I almost found it ironically fitting that one like the aforementioned quote was in the text.
