Hurston does a nice job tying the beginning of the story to the end. She ends the book with a sequence with Phoebe and Janie, like how the book starts. Since the story is "choppy" and all over the place, Hurston can keep the book as one by using the same language and also bringing in the title.

The title is significant mainly to this chapter because that is where the line appears. This suggests that it is not just the actions of the characters that determine the end, or turn out of anything. Everyone is waiting to see what God will do next. This also seems to be a test, Janie will still be happy even if she goes (dies), being with Tea Cake, they are happy together, and waiting together for God. How God will determine the end.

Mrs. Turner and Mr. Turner have a very different relationship as opposed to Janie and Tea Cake. Mrs. Turner has dominance over Mr. Turner in their relationship, she is controlling and feels that maybe he has done her wrong- in a sense that she is disappointed with him. She takes her experiences with her husband and bases her other opinions of other blacks off of that, and tries to convince Janie that both of them deserve better because of their white features.
