... with Logan Killicks. That is why she left him for a man that showed much potential to give the kind of love she was looking for. The whistling man that Janie ran away with was Jody Starks. With Jody, Janie thought that she would forever have "flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything." She thought she'd have "a bee for her bloom." She didn't exactly find this in Jody though.

She knew that he liked her that is why she knew he would try to go to the Araby in order to buy something for her. It was only at the end that he realized that he was “a creature driven and derided by vanity” (Pg. 92). Only then did he really figure out how dumb he was and that he was only thinking with his penis (but I already knew that).

In the tribe, it was customary for the Chief to have several wives and children. The Chief married five wives and the fifth one brought him a daughter. Another tradition that was shown in the story was the explanation of how Oganda (the chief's only daughter) received her name.
