The Color Purple

I chose this title on a whim because I didn’t really have any reading material with me at the time and I saw the title on the reading list. But turns out that was a good whim because I ended reading that book quickly and enjoying it immensely though when I was halfway through the book someone revealed some spoiler to me and I felt a bit heartbroken you know that feeling when someone reveals the ending of that really good book that you’re reading. So I’ll warn you beforehand that yes I will talk about the book and yes there will be spoilers.

The spoilers that the person was that Nettie and Celia’s dad wasn’t there biological dad at all and that shocked me and I was also kind of relieved because that means Celia’s children are not children of incest. But it also saddens me because she never knew her own father who was wrongly lynched. It also made so angry with that *beep* of a step father for abusing Celia like that making her feel low of herself. The character that I was really fascinated with was Shug Avery because she is not the stereotypical women of her skin of that time period. I started to like her when she and Celia relationship deepen and especially she encouraged Celia to start a sewing business that was real considerate of her to supported Celia like that. But I was very disappointed with her for having that fling with that young man, Germaine. But you know what surprised me most of all in the book, it was Mr.___ behavior in the end but I guessed he was heartbroken but it did him a lot of good because he was a better person in the even Celia said so. But another character that stood out for me was Sophia because she is tuff like really stubbornly tuff, I really admired her for leaving Harpo; she still loved him but wasn’t going to take his crap. But I felt so sorry when she was taken away from her children and forced to be a maid to those people.

Alice Walker has truly written a captivating and sad piece of story that will really stick with me. I will especially remember the characters in these book particularly Celia and how much she had to endure and how she yet progressed and became such a stronger person in the end as well being gifted with her sisters return she deserved it from what she suffered.
