Jenae Graves 'Business Time'

The marriage is unsatisfying and lonely for Janie. Janie “...knew things that nobody had ever told her...the words of the trees and the wind. She often spoke to falling seeds and said, ‘Ah hope you fall on soft ground,’” (25). She spoke and connected with nature because she was still searching for the kind of love she had witnessed when laying under the pear tree when she was younger. After a big fight with Logan, Janie meets a man named Jody Starks who is charming and charismatic. He is extremely intelligent and Janie leaves Logan for him because even though “he did not represent sun-up and pollen and blooming trees...he spoke for far horizon. He spoke for change and chance." (28). Janie has not been able to find herself in her marriage with Logan because there was no real connection, she hopes to find love resembling the pear tree with Jody. Unfortunately Janie’s dreams of finding love with Jody fall flat. Jody is controlling and restricts Janie from expressing herself and he further isolates her from society.

This film really grabbed my interest by depicting real life situations and corruption in today’s

Janie's prayer is answered with her next husband, Jody Starks. He is the man who fills the voids of loneliness and love, and continues her development as a woman. When they first met, Janie was convinced that Jody believed she was a very special person because of the compliments he gave her. For two weeks, before they married, they talked and Janie believed that Jody "spoke for change and chance" (28). The problem Janie had with Jody was that he did not treat her as equal. He would not let her speak in front of people, teach her to play checkers, or participate in other events. Janie notices the problem early in the relationship and confronts Jody about it when she says "it jus' looks lak it keeps us in some way we ain't natural wid one 'nother. You'se always off talkin' and fixin' things, and Ah feels lak Ah'm jus' markin time. Hope it soon gits over" (43). Janie realizes that she cannot be open with Jody and that he is not the same man she ran off with to marry. Jody has many of his own interests, and none of them are concerned with Janie. "She found out that she had a host of thoughts she had never expressed to him ... She was saving up feelings for some man that she had never seen" (68). Jody only gave material goods to Janie. She knew she

The screwball comedic element of this introduction to Peter is that when he is quitting his job over the phone he is drunk with a group of friends around him. When he is talking to his boss he is acting like he is “the boss” and controls the conversation to make himself look good. Through the other side of the phone his boss has already fired him and hung up but to avoid embarrassment, Peter acts like he is still on the phone with his boss and “quits”. This classic screwball scene is entertaining to the viewers as the audience knows what is going on but his friends do not which makes it an odd and humorous situation. These characters come from opposite social and economic classes which makes it seem as though they would never cross paths or get along. There affection for one another is formed through the journey these two strangers share with one another and this develops their relationship and attitudes towards each other over time. Through the course of the film, these characters show a sense of disheartenment and lack of caring towards one another but their opposites are brought together and their views are changed through screwball comedic elements.

Henry and Elisa go to a work party. Elisa makes polite, but meaningless conversation with the wives of Henry’s co workers.
