Post#8: ISU Novel: The Color Purple

The Color Purple is basically a novel telling the story of Celie. Celie is a black women, that lives in southern America. She has to face many obstacles, like rasicm, being abused by a man who is believed to be her farther and is just known under the name Mr.____. When she turns 14, she is forced into marriage. Her children also get taken away. From what I have read so far, Celie and Aminata from the Book of Negroes are in a very similar position and, there is no doubt that both of them face a ton of Obstacles in their lives. The structure of the book is also similar, because the whole story is told about the character and focuses only on their lives. I am exited to finish the book and to write about the connection to the book of Negroes.
