p.147-193
The book is over! I didn't really like it, but I thought the ending was pretty cool. In these pages, a storm brews over the 'Glades. Motor Boat, Janie, and Tea Cake huddle inside the dark house and look at the door, as if watching God and seeing what he is going to do about the problem at hand. They then take it up to flee the muck patch and head for safety. Motor decides that he is going to sleep off the storm at another house but Janie and Tea Cake keep fleeing. Along the way, Janie gets airlifted by the wind into a "lake" and she manages to hold onto a cow's tail as it swims towards the location of Tea Cake. There is a mad dog waiting for an encounter, however, and it decides to attack. Tea Cake jumps in with his knife out and slashes the dog. The dog bites him yet Tea Cake sends the dog to a more restful place. Then the storm calms and they go back home to the 'Glades (Yes, there was more that happened but it isn't that interesting). At their home, Tea Cake comes down with the sickness (Mad Dog Disease) and attacks Janie. She draws the rifle bead upon him and lets a bullet fire. Tea Cake goes down but. Janie is sent to jail but is proven innocent of murder because it was for her own safety. She then holds a funeral to pay her respects. Janie then ends her story to Pheoby about all that happened in her life and they go back to bed. That is the end.
This represents Janie's trial for the accusation of murder.
