'Their Eyes Were Watching God'

In chapter 18, we are finally introduced to the title of the book: " Their eyes were watching god." At the start of this chapter an Indian tribe, the Seminoles, gathered and headed east because they foresaw a huricane. Most people dismissed them saying "What do Indians know?" Others fled east as well. That night the wind picks up, animals scurry around, and it begins to rain. Tea Cake decided to have a party. Throughout the day everyone seemed to be watching to see what was going to happen next, even during the party. As the storm strengthened, the party thinned. The remaining 6 people left were huddled at the door listening to the storm. "They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching god." There were all 'watching god' to see what he was going to do with the violent storm. Janie and the others waited to see God's next move.
