"She tore of the kerchief from her head and let down her plentiful hair. The weight, the length , the glory was there" pg. 87 This passage was very strong and meaningful to me. That kerchief that she had on her head symbolized no hope, emptiness, like a jail cell. Janies hair to me symbolizes freedom, when she was with jody she always had to wear that kerchief because she was jailed by him. Now that she has taken that horrible rag off her head she can finally be free.
