Response: Three men, one choice

New Girl 

Paul Gunslinger is the man on New Girl that Jess is attracted too by looks. They are almost the exact same person and although they joke and tease a lot they do not end up with each other. Jess actually cares a lot about him but not enough to stay with him. However I don't think he's like Jody at all I just think he's the guy that she is attracted to because he is different and looks good. 

Dermot Mulroney is the man that looks good on paper. A successful, accomplished business man that is a lot older than Jess. Although right now they are in a really good place with their relationship he is the most like Jody because he is older and sometime has the tendency to speak down to Jess. So I don't think he's like Logan because he actually can connect with Jess. 

Nick Miller is the real guy. (In my opinion) Anyone that watches New Girl can see that Jess and Nick really have something. They are both 100% themselves with each other. In other relationships Jess tends to act differently to make the man happy but with Nick she doesn't have too. Sure, they aren't actually in a relationship (yet) but I believe that Nick is most like Teacake because of their natural, teasing, (HOPEFULLY loving in the future) relationship. For right now in the show they are just the best friends that should be together. 

The main difference between Janie and Jess is that Jess genuinely cares for all of these guys. Also, the guy that looks good doesn't necessarily compare to Jody and the guy that looks good on paper isn't necessarily like Logan.

In the show, 'What I Like About You', Holly is faced with a choice between three guys that she truly loves throughout the seasons.  First, there is Henry, Henry is the guy who will always be there for her and who everyone thinks she should be with.  He is genuinely a good, responsible guy who can provide for her.  Henry is most like Logan, he is smart, successful, and Holly's families favorite (her sister Val because her parents aren't really involved).  The difference is that Holly actually loves Henry.

Second is Ben (my favorite).  Ben is the interesting, new, different, british guy.  When Holly goes to London for a semester, she comes back with Ben, an amazingly gorgeous, guitar player with an awesome accent.  He loves her a lot and she is enamored with him because he's so different than anyone else, he is very focused on his music (work) though.

Third is Vince. I love, love, love Vince.  Vince is unmotivated, obnoxious, and the biggest player ever.  Even with all of this flaws, they completely love each other.  They're prefect together, even though he is far from perfect.  He lets her be herself and is friends with her enough so that the relationship is like two people who've known each other forever.  He can joke and tease and they're just completely adorable even though he is completely irresponsible.  He reminds me of Tea Cake a lot.  Especially with Nunkie because there are a lot of other girls in Vince's life that Holly has to work around (like Robin, the psycho ex he works with).


The main difference is that Holly actually loves all three of these guys and they are all genuinely good for her.  But she does end up with Vince, who everyone would agree is the one she shouldn't be with (even though we all love him).

THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD- CHAPTER 8

In chapter 8 of Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie finally finds the courage to tell Jody how she really feels about him and speaks her mind without the fear of abuse. When Jody dies, Janie feels a sense of freedom and as a result, lets her hair down to symbolize that she is no longer under the power of Jody. In this chapter Janie finally realizes who she is and becomes a woman.

Do you think it makes Janie weak or strong when she expresses her harsh feelings to Jody while he is on his death bed?

Pride and Prejudice vs. TEWWG

Mr. Collins - Logan
"Look good on paper guy."
Just like Janie, Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice is pressured by her mother to marry a man whom she does not love. Mrs. Bennet, like Janie's grandmother, thinks that Mr. Collins is a perfect opportunity for Elizabeth: not only is he a clergyman, but he will also inherit the Bennet's estate, and so marrying him would secure the financial future of both herself and her sisters.







George Wickham - Jody
"Look good guy"

Just like Janie, Elizabeth is quickly seduced by Mr. Wickham due to his good looks and sweet talk. He is superficially charming like Jody, with the snazzy soldier's uniform and witty anecdotes. However, like Jody, he likes to belittle others that he feels threatened by (especially Mr. Darcy,) and his immediate charm wears off with Elizabeth, like Jody's did with Janie.


Mr. Darcy - Tea Cake
"The REAL guy"
Just like Janie, Elizabeth ends up with the man she is able to have a real relationship with at the end: Mr. Darcy. While Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth have a less than cordial relationship at the end, he is one of the few people in the book who recognizes her intellect and capability. Like Tea Cake, he is able to tease Elizabeth and it is with him that her true nature comes out. He may not be as superficially charming as Mr. Wickham, but his "realness" (although it is sometimes blunt!) makes us root for him in the end.

TEWWG Chapter 10- Three Men, One Choice...

In Chapter 10 of Their Eyes Were Watching God, we are introduced to the charismatic character named Tea Cake. Based off the the three types of guys we discussed in class, 1) "Looks good on paper" guy, 2) "Looks good" guy, and 3) The REAL guy, please provide your own example (like my "Friends" example) and relate your answer to each type of guy/ Janie and her relationship with Logan, Jody, and Tea Cake. Review: my example was Rachel's relationship with Barry, Paolo and Ross. In my opinion, Barry was the "Looks good on paper guy" and resembled Logan the most. Paolo was the "Looks good" guy and resembled Jody the most. Lastly, Ross was the "real" guy and resembled Tea Cake the most. Your example can be from another book, TV show, or movie, just BE CREATIVE!! You may also include pictures/ video clips to further illustrate your point if you desire!

Chapter 10

We have seen Janie with three men in the book so far. In this chapter we are introduced to Tea Cake. Compare the different ways Logan, Jody, and Tea Cake treat Janie. Who treats her like an equal? Who doesn't? And how?

Tea Cake and Janie are immediately attracted to each other when they meet. What kind of relationship will Janie have with Tea Cake? How will it be different from her previous relationships?
