If I were to tell a story of my own that is similar to that of Janie, I would tell it to a close friend. This is because a friend is the most likely person to understand what I would be trying to say and see it from my point of view. I feel that if this story was to be told to a family member, they would be very judgmental and not be able to understand the situation, even though family members are the closest people in my life. At the same time, close friends are also very influential and have opinions that I respect and value. Since I feel that they can see from my point of view, their opinions would have even more meaning to me.
I would tell this story starting with what I learned from it, a theme or moral. This gives the story a structure from the beginning and can help justify or explain the actions that were taken. If the listener can know what the end meaning or goal of the story is, they can better understand everything that happens on the way to finding it. For example, after reading Their Eyes Were Watching God all the way through and then revisiting it, knowing some of the desired themes have helped explain just the first page. This is why I would start the story with a theme.
