Summary of Chapter 4

"their eyes were watching god" By Zora Neale Hurston

 Logan pampers Janie less and tries to get her to perform manual labor, claiming that she is spoiled.  One day that Logan leaves to buy a second mule for the Janie so that Janie can help him work in the fields.
 While Logan is getting the mule, Janie spies a good-looking, sharply dressed stranger ambling down the road. His name is Joe Stalks, he is from Georgia, that he has saved up a lot of money, and that he has come down to Florida to move to a new town that is being built and run by blacks. They get each other and they will meet everyday.
 He dazzles her with his big dreams, and Janie’s hopes for love come alive again. Finally, after about two weeks of clandestine flirtation, he says that he wants her to leave Logan and marry him.
