There are many fascinating things going on in the book The Color Purple, but there are the main things that happen to the main character Celie. One thing that she keeps doing that is still very mysterious is writing letters to god. This is mysterious because she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be religious and believe in god but who would of thought that a light headed person would believe in god. when she is talking about god it seems like she thinks of him as a guy and not as a god. The way that Celie is as a person is kind of scary because she lets people tell her what to do and that goes for little kids as well.
Don't let them run you over, Nettie say. You got to let them know who got the upper hand.
They got it, i say.
But she keep on, You got to fight. You got to fight.
But I don't know how to fight. All i know how to do is stay alive.
This was said by Nettie and she made a really good point on how Celie is letting people do what ever they want to her. This really gets bad halfway threw to the end of the first paper clip because thats when all the bad things happen. She starts to write a lot of letters to god and more then what she started to in the beginning. Celie has a lot of things that make her unique but some things that make her stand out of the crowd are not good traits. Like when she goes to the market with her "Sisters" and she sees a little girl she thinks that it is heres because her dad used to rape her and through the kids that she had away.This girl really gets taken advantage of. When she looks at the baby girl she keeps asking the old lady whats the girls name who her father is and all these other questions. Overall Celie is a damaged girl but will have her life back some day.
