In the first paragraph of page 100, Hurston uses simple sentences. These sentences emphasize what Janie is thinking. These are her inner thoughts on what Tea Cake is doing and that he might be fooling with her. This technique characterizes Janie making her seem worried and cautious and that she assumes things.
p108, the first paragraph has lots of figurative language in it to show Janie's emotions. She feels doubtful. She is trying to doubt her love for Tea Cake, and is trying to doubt his love for her. It is the first time she ever felt like this. This technique of figurative language sets the atmosphere and mood Janie is in. It contains lots of imagery where you feel like you are part of Janie and feel like you are experiencing it too.
"De men wuz talkin' bout it in de grove tuhday and givin' her and Tea Cake both de devil." p111
Hurston uses dialogue for this particular technique. In this passage, it talks about all the people discussing about Janie and that what she is doing is bad. This technique is used to give an outside view of the main event and main character. It makes the story more interesting and makes the reader if this outside conflict will turn out to be a bigger problem then what it really is.
