The last paragraph of this chapter uses nature imagery and the narrator describes it as "They sat on the boarding house porch and saw the sun plunge into the same crack in the earth from which the night emerged."
In this last paragraph Janie and Joe are watching the sunset together. The quoted sentence above means that everything in nature ends and starts in the same place (sunset) and that night and day also end and start in the same place. This sentence in one way represents a new beginning for Janie as the sun going down represents her past and the night starting metaphorically represents a new life for her. It both describes nature and her life.
