Sexuality. Their Eyes were Watching God is in many ways a novel about Janie's sexual awakening. Because it was written in the conservative 1930s, much of this sexuality is masked in metaphor.When Janie finally finds a bee for her blossom, it is the man that she has been most sexually attracted to in her life.ne of the most politically notable aspects of Their Eyes were Watching God, a decidedly apolitical novel, is the concept of black autonomy. Jim Crow laws were still in effect in the South during the 1930s, keeping blacks and whites in seperate schools, churches, and bathrooms.

With the middle ear acting as an impedance-matching device, a majority of the energy of a sound wave moves on to the inner ear. In the case of a sound that is too loud, muscles attached to the ossicles can tense to decrease the proportion of the sound that is transferred and help to prevent damage to the inner ear. Connecting the middle ear to the throat s a short, narrow passage called the eustachian tube (Figure 1).
