I would have to say so far in class my favorite book as been The Color Purple. This book is a really shows a women back in the early part of the 1900′s coming to be her own person and breakin away from having a man contol her. From an early age the main character was in the control of the man and that is all she know until she meets her husband’s mistress.
When Celie was 14 she was controlled by her father. He would have sex with her and then when she was pregnant, he would then take her children away from here before she even had a chance to really see them. Then when her father was through with her he then gave off to another man who really didn’t want to have anything to do with her. When she was with him she basically just cleaned the house take care of his kids and allow him to have sex with her. She didn’t know anything else until she met Shug.
When she met shug she fell in love with her. She was beautiful and everything she imagined she would be by the pictures Celie saw. She helped Shug get better and once she was better Shug told her about her travels and when she was younger. Celie would tell Shug how Mr. would beat her and how he took her sister away from her. When Shug found this out she told Mr. he needed to stop and also found out the he was hiding letters from Nettie. After Shug left and came back again to visit she told Celie that the next time she leaves she is going with. Celie ends up leaving Mr. and being able to make it on her own.
