The Color Purple

  In The Color Purple, the novel and film, each share both similarities and differences. The novel was written by Alice Walker while the film was produced by Steven Steilberg. In my opinion, the film may be more of a convenience but it leaves out a lot of important scenes. The novel was very interesting, well written, and created a lot of imagery. I’ve never been able to finish the entire film due to me losing interest, but the book was interesting through out. It was nearly impossible to put the book down once reading.
  As I’ve read and watched both the novel and film, Celie’s childhood trauma is about the same. In each of the novel and film, she was raped by her father and had two children. I also noticed that Celie was afraid of men in both as well. On the other hand, In the novel versus the book, Celie and Shug Avery’s relationship differ. In the novel, their relationship comes off as a clear lesbian connection,at one point, whereas the film is not as clear. In addition, Celie’s husband, Mr._, is referred as such throughout the novel until Shug refers to him as Albert, in contrast, he is referred to as Albert throughout the film. This is ironic due to the film taking away an underlying message that  lied between her and her husband.

1. In previous pages, Kien could not seem to get his writing together, but now his novel seemed to have its own logic and flow. What do you think caused Kien to be able to write now rather than before? Do you think something inspired him? If so, what? 2. Phan promised that he'd go back to assist the saigonese that he shared the crater with, but it started to rain and darkness fell. Therefore, he was not able to locate him. Have you ever been promised something and that promise wasn't fulfilled? How did it make you feel? 3. Phan says that whenever he sees a flood he thinks of his cruel stupidity of how he left the saigonese to suffer. Have you ever came across anything that reminds you of something in your past? 4. Would you rather prolong the life of a injured person or kill them if they asked you to. Why? 5. On page 86, it says that Kien's mouth was dry and his breath was foul. What could you conclude about Kien? 6. "Dying and surviving was separated by a th

Introduction

     Hello! My name is Travia Renée Wilson. My birthday is January 13, 2000; I am a Capricorn. I tend to seperate myself from people. I am not very vocal. I'm more of an observer. In my unoccupied time I like to shop, spend time with my dearest and family, and also travel. I am currently enrolled at Ben C. Rain High School as a junior for the 2016-2017 school year. I am very excited and overwhelmed with joy to be a junior this year. For me, this year will be one of my most important school years due to me trying to make a name for myself academically. One of my mini goals is to be valedictorian or salutatorian of my senior class.To accomplish my goal, I will be putting my maximum amount of effort into everything I do. In the near future, I would like to persue a career in pharmacy. Therefore, my main priority is continuing to have a strong work ethic. I am very focused and ready to tackle everything that is thrown my way this year and beyond!

Blog Post Assignment 11

Dear advice column,  My name is Grant. I've been asked to teach a young man by the name of Jefferson to be a man. I know this sounds ironic, but this isn't just a small lesson to be taught. Jefferson was falsely accused for a crime and was called a hog in court. Jefferson is no hog and his nannan wants him to know that before he dies. I really don't know what to say or how approach him but I'd hate to let his nannan down. He really believes that he is a hog which makes it more difficult for me, they've brainwashed him! How can I help Jefferson? What should I do? What should I say? And how should I say it? Please reply!
