Personal Reaction
I think The Color Purple is a great book and I really like it. I think the book was written for those people who need a friend and for those who was racist. I think the author is trying to tell us try to make friends and love people, don't be a racist. You will just people with discrimination. The author is successful send the message across because I can feel the pain that the character Celie has experience. She was treated badly by people around her, so I feel sorry and pain for her. At least I got the message.
I think this is a great book for my friends to read. The book told us what it's like back then. It makes me learn more about the background of that time. The book show that African Americans were treated badly by white people because of their color. Like Celie, she has no position in her family. I think she won't treated by people like that if she was white. However, it's good for her to finally find her true love with Shug. She finally knows what's happiness and what's love. I'm really happy for her and I always love good endings. I want my friends to read this novel because I want them to know don't be so cruel with people just because of their color or race.
The Color Purple is one of Alice Walker's great works. I like this book, so I think I really want to read more of her works. I like the way that she wrote about how the characters feel. It really touches me. It helps me to understand and realize how love is important and it can really change a person's life. And I think I will appreciated the friendship between me and my friend. It's good to have friends.
