Claims for "Their Eyes Were Watching God"

"In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie discovers life is a crapshoot. "
 This claim is very weak; first of all it uses the word "crapshoot." I do not think this is a strong, let alone appropriate, claim for this book. I would definitely consider rewording the claim if the person is trying to prove that Janie does not live a good life. However it was me, I would change the claim altogether because I do not believe it is a good claim for the book. Janie's life is not a "crapshoot," because in the end, she seems happy, alone or not.

"In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston proves that the satisfaction of freedom may result from loss."
  This is a very strong claim about Their Eyes Were Watching God. There will be a plentiful amount of textual support from the book to back it up. Through her three marriages gone wrong, Janie ends up happy in the end, alone. Her freedom and independence are what end up making her happy in the end, and her freedom most definitely results from loss- the loss of three husbands, to be exact. It should be a very easy claim to provide support for.

"Their Eyes Were Watching God is a great example of the trials and tribulations of love."
Also another strong claim, however I would refrain from using the word "great" and aim for a more sophisticated word. Throughout the book, Janie journies through the marriages of three different men, all the while getting to know herself better and learning what she does and doesn't like/love. It takes trials of the first two marriages for her to finally find her true love in Tea Cake, however Tea Cake himself ends up to be somewhat of a trial because in the end she ups up happy and alone. There should be a large amount of textual support to back up this claim.
