    73-75) DEAR NETTIE, I don't write to God no more - Annotated The Color Purple

      You not gitting a penny of my money, Mr. say to me. Not one thin dime. Did I ever ast you for money? I say. I never ast you for nothing. Not even for your sorry hand in marriage. 

      These two lines strike me particularly because it shows the change in power through the discussion. Finally Celie is breaking through this barrier that has been built around her. She is making a decision for herself and she Is confident in it. One question I had was if Celie would have confronted Mr.__ by herself or did she take advantage of the dinner situation to bring up her point.

    09-12) DEAR GOD, I spend my wedding day running - Annotated The Color Purple

      So after I bandage my head best I can and cook dinner

      After reading this passage I started thinking to myself why Celie won't revolt against these people. She has no hope in a place like this and it is frustrating to see her deal with it the hard way.

    32-36) DEAR GOD, Sofia gone six months - Annotated The Color Purple

      One thing he learned is that he cute. Another that he smart. Plus, he can make money. He don't say who the teacher is. 

      does this mean that Harpo is becoming more prideful? Is he realizing his potential? How will this affect Celie and the family?

    70-72) DEAR CELIE, I woke up this morning bound to tell Corrine and Samuel - Annotated The Color Purple

      She said. Don't Now Honey me. Nettie swore on the bible to tell me the truth. To tell God the truth, and she lied. 

      In a scenario like this one does one tell the truth or lie? If you are stuck in a situation like this one what is your better bet?

      That's the truth. I look at women, tho, cause I'm not scared of them.

      this line is particularly interesting to me because it shows the deeper thoughts of Celie's. It shows the risk that she is taking by even thinking of something like that around her family. I can almost feel her whisper this line. It sounds like she doesn't want anyone to know that.

      hey calls me yellow like yellow be my name They calls me yellow like yellow be my name But if yellow is a name Why ain't black the same Well, if I say Hey black girl Lord, she try to ruin my game 

      I don't fully understand the lyrics in this song of Squeaks. What would make Squeak feel like she has to sing this and why. For me music is something that feels imbedded but essential in this book. A lot of Celie's sentences feel rhythmic and melodic which helps me understand the weight of what she is saying.
