After Janie marries and moves in with Logan Killicks, she reports that Logan's house "was a lonesome place like a
stump in the middle of the woods where nobody had ever been". Janie's act of comparing Logan's house to a
"stump in the middle of the woods" contributes to a larger pattern of tree imagery used to describe various
characters, lifestyles, and dreams. How does the metaphor of a "stump" where "nobody had every been" differ
from the metaphor of a "blossoming pear tree in the back-yard"? How do these two tree metaphors work
together to illustrate the distance between the life that Janie dreams about and the life she has with Logan?
