Journal 6

Chapter 16-17

Mr. and Mrs. Turner's relationship is quite the opposite of the other relationships in the book. In the other relationships, like all of Janie's marriages, the man was in charge and making all of the desicions. While in the Turner's relationships, Mr. Turner is very passive with Mrs. Turner, allowing her to do as she pleases. This gives Mrs. Turner the freedom to speak her mind without anyone telling her differently. But it seems like Mr. Turner has gotten tired of defending his wife when he does nothing to stop the fight at the bar and allows Mrs. Turner to hit him. He doesn't defend himself he just continues on with what he's doing.
