"Freein’ dat mule makes uh mighty big ... man outa you. Something like George Washington and Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln, he had de whole United States tuh rule so he freed de Negroes. You got uh town so you freed uh mule. You have tuh have power tuh free things and dat makes you lak uh king uh something."
Janie told Joe that since he saved that mule, he could do anything that he wanted to do since he bought a mule and freed it. She told him that he is now a mighty man because he saved someone or something. She now refers to him or thinks of him as a king, or a person of great leadership.
"But Ah hates disagreement and confusion, so Ah better not talk. It makes it hard tuh git along."
Janie feels that she shouldn’t argue back with Joe, because she didn’t want any thing bad to happen to her, because she hates disagreement and confusion, and she didn’t want to start anything, so it was best that she kept her mouth shut at that moment in time with Joe.
