Overall, The Color Purple was well written book that showed the dynamics of race, religion, sexuality and gender. This book shed light on some of the things that occurred back then and some that even occur todya. This book showed that regardless of the circumstance if you stay grounded, keep your faith and follow your goals anything can happen. Such as Celie learning to read, reuniting with her children and even opening her own business. All these things happened against all the odds being against her. Such as being motherless, a rape victim, being mentally, physically and emotionally abused and being a mother at a young age. But against all odds Celie still prospered had her happy ending.
Chapter 4 1) The imagery in this chapter belie’s the narrator inner tension can be connected to the white line dividing a highway and he also used college and how it and the white line can be seen as dividing. 2) The narrator hates Trueblood because of what he did to his daughter, he also hates him because he feels as if he is affecting him in a way. 3) The effect of comparing the campus to a plantation is an elaboration of how although the blacks are allowed on campus the still suffer from the pretenses of the whites. 4) Dr. Bledsoe has achieved power by following his white predecessors and making sure he keeps them pleased. 5) The mirror and the aquarium are metaphors because they can both create distorted images, which would make a person lose their sense of self. Chapter 5 1) The rhetorical argument behind the comparison to the moon to a white mans bloodshot eye was that although they both may seem high and mighty, they eventually fall and have to deal with their problems.
