"The Color Purple" by Alice Walker.

THE COLOR PURPLE         The novel The Color Purple by Alice Walker takes place around the 1930's. It is a place where being black is looked down upon, being a black woman is no far than degrading. For an African American woman named Celie, life was exactly no better than degrading. 'you black, you ugly, and you a woman, who would ever want you'. In the novel The Color Purple, the author illustrates through character development …

…that people do care.         An individual's life is meaningless when they are unable to think by themselves, unable to make decisions and forced to believe what is told to them. In the novel The Color Purple, the author shows through character development and structure that isolation occurs when a person is forced to believe something and unable to communicate with the outside world. Only through love and companionship one is able to conquer being isolated.
