The process of self-identity exploration is a life-long journey. For some it comes naturally. For Janie, it might take years to find, or it might never be found at all. "There are years that ask questions and years that answer (p.25)." As a child, Janie discovers her blueprint, the map of her life, through the nature - pear trees and bees "She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of the bloom ...... So this was a marriage. (p.13)". Janie observes the bees pollinate a blossom inspire her knowledge of sexual awakening. She encounters ideological conflict when she implies the blueprint into her situations which, and the effects of these conflicts can alter her personality into two identities - internally and externally.
Janie Crawford experiences conflicts with her controlled grandmother in such a young age. In the case of Janie and Nanny, the conflict between the two women is generating by nature and life-long experiences respectively.

Janie Porter BarrettThe ideal love Janie defines in nature seems against Nanny's best interest for her. Nanny has seen a lot of obstacles in her life, slavery and being raped by her master which Janie's mother is brought into the world. Although Janie listens to Nanny's troubles thoughtfully, but Nanny's points of view does not have much to do with Janie's ideal love. When Nanny believes Janie reaches womanhood and insists that she marry Logan, she refuses "The thought was too new and heavy for Janie. She fought it away. (p. 15)". Even so, Janie married Logan to fulfill her grandmother's dreams. In reality Janie does not really love Logan, she pretends to love him, but never happen. Logan never loves her either "He had ceased to wonder at her long black hair and finger it. (p.31)". She struggles and finally ran away with Joe.
Erm...
Fairly OK essay, concise, but lacks depth and has some grammar problems. First off, the name of the male character isn't Joe, it's Jody. Second of all, if you're going to call to mind Janie's various relationships in the book, there is NO way that you can leave out her relationship with Tea-Cake, her last husband, the one that brought her the most joy. I would say that this essay is incomplete just on that basis, and anyone who wants to use it for themselves would have to append a paragraph or two regarding Janie and Tea-Cake.
The grammar in this essay has a few hits and misses, especially when dealing with quotes out of the novel.
Other than that, the essay is short, to the point, and fairly well covers the first 2/3rds of the novel.
