Anazlye a character in your story. How are they characterized by the author? What is their role in the story? What do you think of them? Why? (Jaimee Martin)

The character I want the analyze is, Shug Avery. Shug Avery is a famous singer in the book, as well as Mr._____ ex love, or his first true love. She is portrayed as rude, but very beautiful. She never stays in one place, and has children but doesn't care for them. Shug is also very "into herself." She loves her body, and will sleep with probably any attractive man that crosses her path. She becomes ill and then goes to live with her ex and Celie. Celie is infatuated with her, but Shug doesn't see it and befriends her as well as ordering her around. Later, Mr._____ and Shug sleep together with permission from Celie, although she's not really okay with it. My opinion of Shug is that she's full of herself. She loves herself too much. I believe this because she doesn't look for peoples feelings. She isn't polite, she wishes every one do her dirty work. She doesn't even take care of her own children, how could she possibly care for herself? She doesn't. Shug needs to grow up in my mind and learn boundaries.

  1. While I do agree with everything you said about Shug, I do disagree in the sense that she only cares for herself. Yes, she is a bit full of herself, but I believe that's is just who she is. She is famous and has travelled the country, for she does not live a normal life. She seems to care a lot for Celie as well. Shug told Celie she would not leave her until she knew for sure that Mr.____ was not beating her anymore. I am interested to see how she processes and continues her rolein the story.
