The Color Purple

The Color Purple written by Alice Walker is an outstanding novel. It has many life lessons that you can learn from. It it very detailed and explains every situation so you could not be lost. I love the way Celie began to stand up for herself and stepped out of the general women role. This showed that Celie  is a very strong women. I would choose the book over the movie because you wouldn’t get the same excitement and specific details as if you just watched the movie. This is a classic and one of the best African American literature known to man.

The Color Purple

There are many differences between the book and the novel of The Color Purple written by Alice Walker. In the book Celie and Shug have a very intimate relationship but as in the movie it is very dormant which would make the person that is watching think there was nothing between them. The movie is more emotional but does not go into detail which the novel does. Also the novel is strictly letters to God which in the movie she doesn’t at all. In the book Shug Avery was described as a very dark woman but in the movie she is brown skin . Also in the movie it lacked to the show the transformation of Mister but in the book he changed to be another type of man . The movie is lacking key details and scenes that the book has that helps the reader get a better understanding of the situation.

With all the differences between the book and the novel they have a couple similarities. A similarity in the book and movie is that Celie’s father raped her. She had two kids and they are given away to a family that couldn’t have kids.  Womanhood is also in the novel and the movie and it showed through   Celie. In both the novel and the movie the viewer could gain many lessons from it . I feel as if the novel was better because it provided more details than the movie .

King Lear No Fear Review

King Lear No Fear is a interesting tragedy. There were many times in this book when you could connect the book to real life situations. Although this book was very predictable at times it showed you life lessons and morals that should be known through life. This book has many themes inside of it such as greed, blindness, power, and plenty more. In my opinion I think William Shakespeare did a good job with setting the mood throughout the book and also with the tone. I enjoyed reading this book with my classmates as we read the book together as if we were the characters in the book. I would recommend this book to someone who was looking for a great tragedy.

A lie that caused one young man and his family their lives

Once upon a time there was a king and he gathered the best players for a rugby team. He had the best of the best, the strongest of the strong and the fastest of the fast.One day the king went up to a skinny peasant. The king stated that the peasant had to build a rugby team that would beat is or that him and his team would die.   He only had a week to do so. The young peasant went village to village gathering all of his cousins. Telling them that the king had invited him and the people of his choice to play in a fun game of rugby. He knew if he had told his cousins that this game of rugby was a life and death game that they would not participate in it. He told them if they were to win that the king would give them a big reward. Of course as one should be his cousins was eager to participate. They practiced day and night trying to get better but it just wasn't working.The little family knew what they was up against.After long days and nights the day was finally here. Everyone was excited except for the young man he knew his life was over. When the team had stepped foot in the stadium the king shouted "Are you ready to die". The family was looking confused on why the king had said that. So, finally the truth had came out as the young man explained to his family what had happened. The cousins were shocked and scared. The outcome of the game is the one that was expected the kings team had won as the little family was destroyed. Before the king killed the family he asked the young man why did he lie to his family. Before he could respond the floor from under them had dropped and they were hung.


MORAL: The truth will set you free because if you lie you could hurt yourself and others.

Women In Medieval Society

Women in medieval society played the traditional women role. They cared for the children, attended the livestock, and also cooked the food. When it was time to bring the crops in the women would join their husbands in the field. Just as rural women helped with their husbands' work, urban women assisted their fathers and husbands in a wide variety of trades and crafts, including the production of textiles, leather goods, and metal work, as well as running shops and inns. Women were thought to be weaker than men because of Eve eating the forbidden fruit,which caused men to be banned from paradise. Back then the role of women was decided upon biblical texts. This forbidded women from teaching. Women that did have power had very little direction that their lives went.

Chapter 5 and 6 Quotations

Chapter 5.

1.Page 39

1."Do you all know what is going on in Bayonne?"

This shows a conflict in the children's knowledge. They do not know what is happening to Jefferson and why. If they knew he reason they would stop playing and get their education. Later Grant explains what is going to happen to Jefferson. This sets a image in the students heads. Now that they know they stopped playing and will try to get their education so they could escape the white man's power.

2.Page 33

" The lord is my Shepard, I shall not want".

The theme is faith. This quote is basically saying God has your back. Anything you need the Almighty God will get it for you. Faith is something they needed back then.

Chapter 6.

1.Page 43

"Smart Man"

This quote characterizes Mr. Henri Pichot at the time. This quote really explains itself. It characterizes him just at this time though. He believed that Grant could get Jefferson ready to die. But, he did not know if that task would be done. This is why he did not bet against them but also did not bet with them.
