Ever since Janie's Nana caught her kissing the other boy when she was younger, it was decided for her that she would have to marry for security, and not for love. Janie had this ideal thought of love that it would be truly outstanding and amazing, but let go of this dream when she had to marry Logan. Although she thought she would love him after they had married, she simply couldn't.
After Nana died, Janie met a man named Jody. She sees him as a ticket out of her marriage and decides to go away with Jody, even though he is still not her idea of love.
"They sat on the boarding house porch and saw the sun plunge into the same crack in the earth from which the night emerged." This quote foreshadows that this decision will not change for the better, because it says that the sun is setting, not rising. It is in the same crack and sky that the night comes about, so the change will not be bring about a better experience for her. Although it is a new beginning for Janie, it will end the same way.
