Q: "When a woman marry she supposed to keep a decent house and a clean family." pg. 19
E: This quote shows what people expected of women/wives. Their main jobs are to take care of the house and their families. They were expected to keep them clean and exceptional, or they were considered to be bad wives. ]]> 2017-12-10 17:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/214828195 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/214833378 NF: Harpo asking why his dad beats Celie.
Q: "Harpo ast his daddy why he beat me. Mr. ____ say, Cause she my wife. Plus, she stubborn. All women good for- he don't finish. He just tuck his chin over the paper like he do. Remind me of Pa." pg. 22
E: Men easily took advantage of women and would beat them if they did not listen or do everything they said. This relationship was extremely abusive, and there was nothing the narrator could do about it because her husband was more superior. ]]> 2017-12-10 18:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/214833378 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/214834262 NF: Celie is speaking about how she grew up in a house full of men and comparing it to her current life.
Q: "A girl ain't safe in a family of men. But I never thought I'd have to fight in my own house." pg. 28
E: Women/girls did not feel safe or secure around men. The narrator fears living In her own house, which should never be the circumstance. This is not a healthy lifestyle that she is living, because she has to fight her way through to receive the treatment she deserves ]]> 2017-12-10 18:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/214834262 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/214834841 NF: Sophia is talking to Harpo. Harpo is saying how its not right for a mother to be going out in a juke-joint at night.
Q: "A woman need a little fun once in a while, she say. A woman need to be at home he say." pg. 82
E: Men expected women not to go out to social events and to stay home with their children. They were criticized for wanting to go out, but men were allowed to without any questions asked. ]]> 2017-12-10 18:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/214834841 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215657475 NF:Celie is speaking on behalf of the life that she has been living and how harsh it has been.
Q:"He never ast me nothing bout myself. He clam on top of me and f*** and f***, even when my head bandaged. Nobody ever love me I say." pg. 112
E: This line proves the brutality and abusiveness in Celie and her husbands relationship. She feels as if she has never been loved because she has lost almost everyone in her family, and her husband only pays attention to her for physical reasons. ]]> 2017-12-13 02:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215657475 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215658140 NF: Nettie is writing to Celie about her time in Africa.
Q: "We are black like the Africans themselves. And that we and the Africans will be working for a common goal: the uplift of black people everywhere." pg. 137
E: This shows how it is common for Africans to unite and help each other through tough times. It has been a trend throughout history and continues today in the modern era. ]]> 2017-12-13 02:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215658140 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215661217 NF: Nettie is writing to Celie about Catherine and her families relationships. 
Q: "All her young life she has tried to please her father, never quite realizing that, as a girl, she never will." pg. 165
E: This quote stuck out because Catherine was a female, she was not good enough for her father. This shows how men were dominant in the family, and simply being a girl wasn't good enough for them to pay attention or show affection towards their daughters. ]]> 2017-12-13 02:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215661217 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215661955 NF: Nettie is writing to Celie about her experience with the Africans and her opinions on them. 
Q:"I think Africans are very much like white people back home, in that they think they are the center of the universe and that everything that is done is done fo them." pg. 142
E: This stuck out to me particularly because Nettie is comparing people that come from nothing, to people back in the US who were more fortunate. I think she is wrong in what she is saying because she is viewing the African's needs and the help they get in a negative connotation. ]]> 2017-12-13 02:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215661955 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215662237 NF: Celie is writing to Nettie about how she lost hope in God.
Q:"I don't write to God no more. I write to you. What happened to God? ast Shug. Who that? I say. She look at me serious. Big a devil as you is, I say, you not worried bout no God, surely." pg. 192
E: Celie has lost hope in God because God allowed all these terrible things to happen to her in the past. She begins writing "Dear Nettie" instead of "Dear God". ]]> 2017-12-13 03:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215662237 18butlemj https://padlet.com/18butlemj/p79h3n66ywqk/wish/215663417 NF: Celie was speaking about her mom and dads relationship.
Q: "I never even remember Ma calling him by his name. She always said, Your Pa. I reckon to make us believe it better." pg.248
E: Celies mom not referring to her dad by his first name shows the distance in their relationship and how their marriage most likely was not healthy.
