How do other people of the community regard tea cake and Janie chapters 14-15
?
?
One difference between Janie's marriages is that Tea Cake is the leader of his community just as Joe was the leader of his. However, Tea Cake's leadership is not oppressive. He leads the other workers' laughter and encourages them to play in the fields. Instead of using a "big voice" to oppress, he entertains with his guitar and his good humor.
