What I think So Far?

So far of my book "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker I have read 107 pages. This far into the book I can say I really enjoy it. At first I didn't believe I would like it because the format of the writing is as if Celie is writing a "diary" to God, but it really has no effect on the story. If anything it is a creative way of writing because it shows Celie's thoughts and her point of view in every situation, and it's read like its present time. I really love this book so far and it has been everything I expected. I have seen the movie previously, but I believe the book is more personal on understanding Celie's life and it makes me feel more connected to the story. I honestly don't enjoy reading the parts of Celie's experience with being sexually taken advantage of by Mr.___. Sometime's it disturbs me because she's just 14. It's eye opening though because during 1930's-1940's this was almost normal, especially for young African American girls. This book has given me a better understanding as to what life was like back than. I'm getting more into the story as well because their just beginning to talk about how slavery is prevalent in their lives, and I have always been interested in novels on slavery. I'm excited to read on and see how it'll be incorporated into the story because I always refer to Celie as a slave to Mr.___, even though she's represented as his "wife." My favorite part so far is the strength Celie gives off through all her adversities; loosing her children, being sexually abused, feeling and being told she's ugly. I believe she's someone that can be a character to admire for readers for her drive in life through all her tribulations. After reading many pages, Celie is a spiritual, mysterious, compassionate, introspective, inspiration woman. Those words are represented by the color purple and they also represent Celie. Knowing more about Celie I love reading to know her thoughts and see her next move with what life throws at her. Even though I'm not close to being done I still would recommend this book to readers and I can't wait to read on.
