TEWWG pg 23

Text: "Ah ain't studyin bout none of 'em. At de same time ah ain't takin dat ole land teh heart neither. Ah could throw ten acres of it over de fence every day and never look back to see where it fell. Ah feel the same way bout Mr. Killicks too. Some folks never was meant to be loved and he's one of 'em.

Unlike her grandmother Janie is not looking to marry somebody just because of what the represent like a house or 60 acres of land. Janie is looking to have somebody to love. She has lived in an environment where she has not been adored like most people have. Earlier in the book she compares herself to a "tree in bloom waiting for a bee." This gives us the idea that she is waiting for somebody to come along and love her, like a bee would go to a tree and spread its pollen. Shes' looking for company, not money and valuables.
