Janie likes the mule for two reasons, one because all of the men talk about it and she goes out to listen to their stories, and two i think it reminds her of her self. when she goes out to listen to the men talk then she can get away from doing math in the store and selling things. she enjoys listening to their stories because they are interesting and they are a distraction from Joe forcing her to work in the store. and the mule reminds her of herself because it is being forced to work like she was with logan and like she is with joe. also because it is being starved and she feels like Logan's oppression over her is starving her from having an ideal life.
