The Color purple by Alice Walker is a story that introduces a young girl named Celie that faces the issues of abuse and rape throughout her childhood and marriage. Throughout the book Celie was the young lady that would take being mistreated without fighting back, however when Celie is given a chance to reflect, she realizes herself worth and is able to change her life with the simple action of letting her voice be heard. Throughout this book Celie’s life was rocky, but she was able to grow from all the negative experiences she encountered and was able to turn them into something positive.
Just like everyone else, Celie had to work hard to get to where she was and this was done with the help of friends as well as the motivation to rid herself of all the negative people within her life. Through the book Celie battled the issue of being abused physically and mentally, but she was able to overcome the abuse and become a stronger more independent women. This book was related to my question because Celie was face with a situation that she was able to overcome. Through reading this book I admired the style of writing in a diary and the story line played in well. This is because abuse is never a positive action; however the book provided a view of what the abused party went through. The diary writings also seemed as if she felt safe letting out her feelings through a pen and paper. Through reading this book, I still see abuse as a negative occurrence, but I have come to admire those who are able to change the negatives into a positive.
