The Color Purple ( Reflection & Daily News)

 

Reflection letters 1-7:

       In letter one, after Celie's mother gave birth to little Luscious, her mother and father fussed a lot because he felt as if she was not being a wife. He felt that way because all he wanted was sex which causes him to rape Celie ( his daughter) scarring for life. In letter two Celie explains how Fonso gets her pregnant numerous of times and tells her that he killed the children but she believes he is selling them. Additionally, her mother dies of a heart attack because her own daughter was pregnant but did not know it was by her own husband. In letter three, the father tends to be tired of Celie so he attends to her younger sister. I feel as if the only way she was going to protect her sister was to continue letting him have sex with her and giving him what he wanted. In letter four, he come home with a girl the same age as her however, Celie felt as if he only does it to her. In letter five, he began beating on Celie because he felt as if she flirted with other boys at the church but she then describes her interest in women because of him. In letter six, Fonso asked Nettie to marriage but did not like the fact that she was too young and had no experience. lastly, in letter seven, she explains how she tried to get him to take her instead of her sister because she wants to protect her sister no matter the cost.

DAY ONE:

- Today for me has been some what ok. Even though I was hungry the whole entire day which is nothing new, I found myself a little stressed because of some things in and outside of school causing me to be tired and to myself really. but I always find a way to push forward into my school work.
