Assignment #5

#1
During this part of the book we see Celie not believing in God. She's starting to not care anymore for what's going on with her due to the fact that she feels as if he never listens to her. We then start to see the way Shug feels about God. She actually in the other hand believes in him and believes that everyone feels the same way in their own way. Celie also writes a speech to Mr. ___ where she explains how she feels. She doesn't seem to hate him anymore even after everything he's done to her. They actually start to begin a relationship and talk about the old memories. As soon as Celie inherits her family's wealth she starts becoming independent. In the final letter that Celie writes, she begins to feel more confident about herself. In her last letter she starts actually believing in God in her own way. She ends up being more happy due to the fact that she actually overcame the heartbreak with Shug. She's a whole different person now.

I really, really liked this book. It was so emotional and I like how Alice Walker used so much emotion. It was like if you could actually feel Celie's pain throughout everything. She was so detailed about everything which caused for us to have great imagery. My favorite part was the ending where Celie begins to overcome the heartbreak with Shug and she starts becoming more independent. This was a great book and I would re-read it again for the second time. I would recommend it to others because it's very interesting to read. It's detailed, interesting and it was so much emotion in it. I loved, "The Color Purple."

Blog Assignment #4

Book Title: My Daily Struggles

Dear Abby,

       My name's Cellie and I'm writing you to let you know how I feel. I'm getting this feeling of being unwanted, I feel lonely and I really don't see why I'm still even here. I get abused, humiliated and I'm not allowed to talk to my family. I just wish things went differently and I wish I could actually be happy for once. My father made me marry a guy that I wasn't in love with. I do have this friend though, her name is Shug. She's been there for me through thick and thin, but it's not enough. I feel unwanted here and I just don't know what to do. I'm writing you this letter in need for you to help me. Thank you so much Abby for listening to me in my most desperate need.

Blog Assignment #3

I see internal conflict between Nettie and Mr. ___ because he's such an abusive person towards her. He hits her and beats her many times, but in front of people he acts so friendly, nice and perfect. Whenever Nettie is about to see her father, she seems extremely happy, but Mr. ___ doesn't. He's quite uncomfortable about the idea.

I see foreshadowing between Cellie and Shug. The way Shug starts showing affection towards Cellie. She does many things that show it and I start thinking that they are going to develop feelings towards each other specially since Cellie is sort of giving up on guys.

blog assignment #2

Page 67:
"They all big....look like amazons" This passage is important because that's where Sofia's describing how she feels about her sisters throughout of what they are going through. She's like their role model and keeps them going on how they are with each other and all those kind of stuff.

Page 73:
"It all about...her wrong, again."
It talks about how Celie has been hurt throughout this whole period by men. She's basically scarred for life and can't take it anymore. She doesn't want to have anything else to do with anyone else or any other men.
