The book, the Color Purple, is a nice, well-written book for women and girls. The story is about two sisters named Celie and Nettie. Celie and Nettie are black skinned in the time where black skinned people were forced to marry men and to be used as slaves.

Celie, at first, doesn't seem too happy at all. She is abused and tortured in every way possible. Once her sister and she got older, they wer both sent away to completely different places.Celie was married to a man without a name, and Nettie was travelling a whole lot. Nettie and Celie are in completely different places now, and Celie is telling her story to how she became a much more confident, and self-assure young woman. SHe learned many things while living with her nameless husband and his children.

Netter, however, is having an even harder time. She travels with the daughter of Celie, who had never met the young thing, and her two adoptive parents. Nettie knows the bigger picture in the story, but Celie is not nearly as knowing.

Languarge in this story is not the common language used in America in these days, yet this way of speaking tells many a story just within itself. Celie is writing, and she only knows bits and pieces of the English Language, so she is struggling to put some phrases into words on a page. Miss. Celie learns a valubale lesson, and I would gladly recommend the Color Purple to everyone who believes in confidence and self-assurance.
