    Edgar,
    Good Analysis! I liked how when you described the direct/indirect characterization you provided both the example and the description right below it. Sounds like an interesting novel!
    One thing, I couldn't find the title and the author of the book. Next time you should include it if you didn't!
    Overall, good job Edgar!

      Thanks, Jisu! I actually did state the book's title and author a few times throughout my analysis! It's The Color Purple by Alice Walker! Maybe next I'll title my analysis the book's name+author. Amazing book, by the way! Highly recommended.

    Edgar! Your plot summary captivated me from the start! This sounds like an amazing book, or you just did a VERY good job on this analysis, probably both though! Everything you wrote was well-written, my only question is about "Mr. ______," was the characters name not included? That was my only confusion, but overall a really good job! (:

      Thank you Lupe! (: I'm glad you gained interested in reading The Color People after reading my literature analysis! Mr.______ 's first name is Albert and yes, his last name is written exactly like that in the book, only a line- we don't know his last name. I think this is because while he was abusive, Mr.______ symbolized the male dominance in Celie's life, therefore reamining nameless. However, when he had his turning point in life, Mr. ______ became Albert to Celie which represents him being equal to her now that they both have names in the story .

    Hey Edgar, yes definitely sounds like an amazing book and sorry I didn't read the entire analysis because I want to read this book, so don't want to ruin it but I did read the parts that doesn't really ruin stuff (same with Stevie's). As much as I read, you did a great job going deeper into it. My question to you is what do you think that you particularly got out of it, you know it being a female oriented book?

      I totally understand Naiomi, smart idea! I realized when I was reading other people's lit. anal's that I pretty much just ruined the books for myself! Haha. Well, by reading The Color Purple, I got inspired, motivated, empowered, mind-blown, etc. Celie's journey of life absolutely captivated me, how she overcame her struggles and pain in life and only used that pain to make her stronger. How Celie had no boundaries, she was a fearless women who openly explored her sexuality to God in her journals which says a lot about her character being that the story was set in the early 1900's. It was just so awesome, wow. In my opinion, the book isn't necessarily female-oriented. One can absolutely view it as that and I totally understand that argument, however I think the story can be relatable universally through Celie's pain and misery. The struggles Celie overcame can be related to one's own struggles and inspire the reader to break free from the pain and use it to make one stronger, Celie is a strong person and the reader can either realte to her strength or learn from it. Therefore, in my literary perspective, The Color Purple isn't necessarily female-oriented. In retrospect, it can be argued that no one authentic book solely is.
