Their Eyes Were Watching God
7-12
This scene takes place between pages 94 and 99. Here, Janie has her first real encounter with Tea Cake. Right after Joe’s death, Janie takes over the store. The scene takes place at the store when everyone else is attending the baseball game. It has been almost nine months since Joe’s death. Here, Janie meets Tea Cake and is drawn to him because of the way he makes her feel. Tea Cake teaches her something no one has ever allowed or asked her to do; he teaches her how to play checkers. This brings out the child in Janie, and she likes it because she was married when she was young and missed her childhood years. In her first marriage, she was treated like property and did not get to experience any fun or true happiness, so she is easily drawn to Tea Cake because he makes her feel young again. In this scene they flirt and bond as they play the game. Later it becomes clear that Tea Cake has changed her for the better and true love develops between the two of then.

"Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly." (page 1).
When it says that for some thier wishes come in it means that thier wish that was on the boat came true. But for some men there dreams never come true. Because the boat never lands so they never come true. But for women they are different then men. They only remember what they want to. They fallow there dreams.

"Nothing can be done, you know, until I get on the ground."
This quote is saying he is waiting for the right time to arise. it also sheds light on the circle of life. He is living in a particular moment that is bad and he wants to stop and begin a new.But he must learn to deal with and accept it to make it better.
“there may be a devilish Indian behind every tree.”
What he is trying to say is that there always is going to be something that will threaten you. So u have to work hard to try and prevent anything from happening to you. Cause there could be trouble lurking ahead of you behind a tree.
