Pg. 16 “You know, honey, us colored folks is branches without roots and that makes things come round in queer ways.”
Janie and Nanny don’t really have a background or solid family, slavery interfered. Nanny tells Janie that she should marry because they don’t have much money and they have a low status. Nanny prides herself in the fact that she gave Janie that opportunity to live like an average white person. Even though Nanny worked to form some freedom for Janie, she insists that Janie marry for protection, against what she actually wants.
