Oh my...

Well... The Color Purple is nothing like i thought it would be but its a GREAT book!! Its kind of rought but the point made in class is true. The rough parts arnt there to be gross or in your face they're there to make you think and to set up certain ideas and characters. The first scene in the book illustrated how women in that time were seen as objects, just something to use and then discard no matter what shape they're in. It was a really startling way to begin the story but at the same time it makes you think and draws you into the story of this poor girl from the very beginning!

  1. Thats what I thought, about the book drawing us in from the first page. Alice Walker hits you hard, she lets us know she means busisness. and I love it.
