There's a "little voice" of wisdom inside of everyone. It tells you what is right, who you should believe, and which paths to take. Sometimes, you may silence this little voice; it's human nature. When we second-guess ourselves we aren't listening to this voice. When we allow others to persuade us into doing something we didn't think of, and may not want to do, we are ignoring that voice.

We can tell Janie does not love the man whom her Nanny is forcing her to marry because she doesn't use the beauty of nature to describe the relationship. Although we know that Nanny is just trying to make sure Janie is supported financially and has someone to protect her that is not what Janie needs in order to be in love.
