How does the perspective of the narrator change the story? What do you think the Author is trying to convey with this? Jaimee Martin
In the beginning of the book, Celie was kind of held up in other peoples lives. She didn't do anything for herself. She did things for others rather than to please herself. As we've progressed through the book, Celie has opened up. She came out of her box, she became herself. I think the author is trying to convey that as people grow up, and meet new people, lives change. Like, for example in the beginning of the book, she did what her Pa wanted, which carried over into what Mr. _______ wanted. Now as we've gone to where she's met and been involved with Shug Avery, she has done things to make her happy. She expanded into her needs with Shug, she has felt loved now. She doesn't keep her thoughts to herself, she is herself now. She has evolved.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you with the fact that she has opened up as the novel has progressed. Celie has really come out of her shell and is not as afraid to say what she feels anymore. I also believe Shug has had a major influence on Celie's progression, for she seems to convince Celie of everything she does.
I think Shug is what Celie needed. She was always someone that Celie had trust in and she was always there to help her when things were rough. If it weren't for Shug, I don't think that Celie would have blossomed like she has. She Is a huge part of why Celie is acting the way she is. -Lindshs Hardy
