16-18

in the end of the reading for tonight there is a hurricane that comes and janie stays on the muck with tea cake. during the storm they stay in the quarters with motor boat, another man who stayed through the storm. the line "their eyes were watching god" means that they were afraid for their lives because the storm was so bad, and they equated the storm to an angry god. they were watching the storm so then they were watching god. they finally decide that it is important for them to leave and so they try and make it through all the water but cant and r forced to grad debris and then tea cake gets bitten by the dog trying to protect janie.
