The Lucky One

Logan stopped showing interest in Janie’s beauty. He now thinks Janie is spoiled because his first wife was more hardworking and Janie is not. Logan thought Janie always made up excuses and complained before doing what he wanted. Janie refuses to do what he wants because she knows he is capable and he did not need her help.

Although he is able to give her physiological needs such as shelter, food, and water as well as safety needs such as resources, health, and personal security, he is unable to meet anything more than that. Janie longs for love and appreciation in that relationship, but it’s clear Logan doesn’t appreciate Janie when Janie mentions to Nanny “‘...’tain’t nothin’ in de way of him washin’ his feet every evenin’ before he comes tuh bed. ‘Taint nothin’ tuh hinder him ‘cause Ah places de water for him,’” (24). This means she goes out of her way to please and love him, but he doesn’t love her or give back. Logan even goes as far as to force Janie to work by getting her a mule.

Logan initially pampered Janie,

Logan Killicks, Janie’s first husband whom she didn’t love but was forced to marry by Nanny. Janie didn’t love Logan but was obligated to marry him because rather than marrying for true love, Nanny thought financial security was more important. From the start, this marriage wasn’t going to be all sunshine and flowers. The fact that she didn’t want to marry him but rather was forced to says a lot about how this marriage was going to play out. Logan treats Janie poorly. She’s nothing more than a housekeeper and worker. On the contrary, Logan is old and ugly while Janie’s youthful beauty brings attention to her every which way.

Janie was never attracted to Logan, the cause of their marriage between the two is because of Nanny. “Please don’t make me marry Mr. Killicks.” “Tain’t Logan Killicks Ah wants you to have, baby, it’s protection” (Hurston 15). Nanny wants Janie to have security when she is no longer alive because the love she has for Janie is so deep and pure. Janie forces herself into liking Logan because of her grandmother and the belief that she will love him someday because “Husbands and wives always loved each other” (Hurston 21).

As a result of Bishop’s disappearance in Keith’s life, Keith’s personality and actions comes into question. “Keith was doing really bad in school and just before vacation one of his teachers had caught him smoking a joint in a broom closet… He’d been alone… he’d been suspended for two weeks”(24). To expound

It is made apparent early on that Janie is uninterested in Logan; however, in search for protection for her granddaughter, Nanny requests Janie to marry Logan as “he’s a good man” (13) with lots of property and money. Nanny’s request is quickly refuted as Janie pleads, “don’t make me marry Mr. Killicks” (15). Unfortunately, Nanny’s compassion and love for Janie forces her into a marriage where she must learn to love her husband. It were as if Janie had unexpectedly became entitled to a lifetime task as Nanny tells her that she “mus gointer love him,” (23) but she just simply “doesn’t like the job” (24). It is not surprising to note how Janie might feel inclined to leave Logan so early on in their marriage as it is fundamentally an arranged marriage between two incompatible individuals. Logan’s lack in interesting Janie, along with his expectations to spend their lives together is what ultimately brought Janie to leave as she couldn’t believe Nanny’s words when she told her “Youse young yet, no tellin what mout to happen befo you die. Wait awhile baby. Yo mind will change” (24). If perhaps, Logan’s love for Janie had continued to show itself rather than, as Janie noticed, ceasing “to talk in rhymes to her” or “wonder at her long black hair and finger[ing] it,”(26) then he could have potentially won her over. In this case, Logan is spoiled and delusioned into thinking that Time is his ally, but it is this trust in Time

Soon after marrying the two’s attitudes towards each other turned from mostly unfeeling and apathetic to harsh and unfriendly. Logan had stopped showing his love for Janie, he no longer spoke lovingly or

The quote in the book Three Times Lucky, “We can’t change the past, Solider. We can only be grateful for a new day, and move on”(Turnage, 225). This quote means a lot to me in life. The past already happened and we can’t go back in time to change it, but what we can do is be glad that there’s new day coming to us and not make the same mistakes as we did in the past. We learn from our past, so in the future we can become a better person than what we were in the former years. Also we can’t be living in the past forever, so we have to be thankful that there’s a destiny in front of us and move on. This quote inspires me this year in English class is I can’t change what I did or did not learn in my previous years in English class, but I can use

After reading chapters of the books since logan was married to janie he thought he just owned her in anyway like she was some type of slave he just always did her bad she even tried going out her way to help him whenever he had gotten sick but logan was still acting in a bad way towards her. I can compare to this in a way only because i find it very wrong to do your wife in a bad way if she the one who really supports you and make sure your business is going smooth. I also can compare it towards a movie called Madeas family reunion the wife was getting treated wrong by her husband he also just abused his wife the same way as logan did janie, the wife in the movie was a great person who went out of her way to help her husband but in the end she was treated wrong by the husband. He was also a type of buisness man some what similar to logan. However to get back on topic the moral of the story is to really explain the type of person logan was i really can’t relate to his ways only because i wouldn’t do any of the things he did or also even treat my wife in such as a bad way whenever all she did was trying to be helpful

In her first relationship, Janie doesn't love Logan even though he wasn't a terrible husband. He brought her fire wood and rarely beat her. But the main issue was that

On February 07, 2007 I was given devastating news. A woman whom I had become friends with was killed by a female suicide bomber in Al Anbar province, Iraq. I was a young lance corporal who had chosen a dangerous job in the Marine Corps as a Combat Engineer, this was a job that put me on the front lines in war yet this girl Corporal Jennifer

that's a woman, because the commanding officer is probably in a rut of her own.

Less than two years ago, on labor day weekend, there were several United States troops in Okinawa, Japan. Four of these troops met in Naha at a club. They joked about grabbing a girl from the town to have some fun. One man refused, while the remaining three, two marines and a sailer went searching for a girl. The three men rented a white Subaru Sedan and noticed a girl walking alone, a twelve year old elementary school student.

Logan, a struggling singer and recovering meth addict fresh out of rehab, has no idea she's destined to change the world. She only wants to survive. But she's hallucinating not-quite-people with solid black eyes that no one else sees -- and when she meets Jaeryth, who can see them too, her instant attraction deepens. Still,
