QUESTION 1:What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?

RESPONSE: The thing that bothers me the more is that almost every girl in this book get either abused or raped for no reason. Celie the main character is only 20years old and has been pregnat so many times. She also has gotten beaten lots of times. She got beated by her dad, for no appearant reason. The thing that bothered me the most is that she didnt do anything about it. She wouldn't fight back, or react to the harsh beatings.

QUESTION 2:What was one of your favorite lines (or sentences) in what you read today?

RESPONSE :" Dont let them run over you, Nettie say. You got to let them know who got the upper had.
They got it, I say.
But she keep on, You got to fight. You got to fight.
But I don't know who to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive."
This conversation was between the main character Celie and her sister Nettie. Nettie ran away from home and went to visit Celie at her new house. Nettie was telling Celie how she was done with getting treated badly. There's were Celie realized how come she never doid that, stood up for herself. That's when Celie told her this. I realy like this conversation lines because I thought these words were very strong and heart warming. I mean if I put myself in Celies shoes I would have felt the same way about that.
