Book club authors voice

If I would chose a celebrity voice to read the color purple I would pick Oprah to read it because she has such a strong voice. She would put such a great voice and she would put her self in the characters situation.

Walker short story draft

"Yo girl I'm having mad fun"
Sheilah and her friend Cameron went to a party that night.
On Clay avenue. A boy name Andrew was having the party.
He always had a friend with him no matter what
and they seen Andrew with many boys an a couple of girls.
"Yo this party is live"
"I can't wait til the next one."
Sheilah is the type of young 16 year old girl who wants to go out and have lots of fun.
Andrew was the same old average boy who wanted every pretty girl who step foot on Clay.
Sheilah didn't know but she had it coming her way because she was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"You ever get that feeling where you know something wrong is gonna happen but you just don't know what?"
Said Sheilah. Sheilah was having so much fun but deep down in her gut she had a feeling that all was about to change.

Sheilah ends up drunk just like everybody else.She is dancing and swaying in her skin tight purple silk feeling dress and her matching purple heals. Cameron seems to match her but dress is white and has on white shoes to match her own outfit.
The music is bumping as loud as can be and no one can hear each other talk. There isn't any water so Sheilah and Cameron out side so that they can go to the store to get some water.
Sheilah felt this tangle that felt like a burn of fire. She started coughing.Shortly they ended up back at the "Club of Playa'z" and it seems to be more people there then it was before they left to go to the store.
They are waiting out side and next thing you know,
pow pow pow, all you hear is gunshots in the dark sky.The air starts blowing hard.Sheilah feels her heart beating out of her foot.She starts hyperventilating and runs to jump in her Lamborghini.Following behind her was friends Cameron, Andrew and Ceira. Sheilah drove for her life.
Not knowing what was going on she was driving the fastest that she could drive to save her and her friends lives. Cops are following behind her.

Elle's view #2

Nobody is perfect you have to live your life. Some people believe that you have to go the way the wind blows you. And some believe that you have to go the opposite way the wind tries to blow because they think it might be a bad way to go. but sometimes I might get confused.

I have to be me {rap} freestyle

You do you cuz,
imma do me
when I walk down the hall I see who I wanna see.

I'll be who I wanna be
and dats never fake or phony.
everything and everyone are
way to different to be the same
and I have to be me.
thats my true name
To tell you the truth I don't
know how to be no one else
I can only be myself.
But I really don't care
there is no such game as truth or dare.
I'm stingy that means i won't eva share .
won't eva dare to take such a deep breath
when the time cumz dat means itz time 4 deep death.
6 feet under the ground
won't even make a sound
when i think bout it makes my world go round and round.
you do you cuz,
imma do me
when i walk down the hall
ill see who i wanna see
and i have to be me.

The Color Purple response 2

Elleshamma Walker
Pages19-30

So far in the book in the very beginning she gets raped by her own father and she had many babies by him. Celie has been trough lots of stuff. She has seen many thing in her life. I can relate to her {Celie} because in my life I have seen lots of things just like did. I think the author really put lots of experience from not only her self but for other people also. She is very descriptive when it comes to characters talking about what was going on like the part where this woman Sofia was in a yard watching with her children how her husband Harpo was working. Even as disruptive as having a baby and the way she screamed at the top of her lungs when the baby started to come. So I think that Alice Walker has put her and other peoples experiences in to her book. Celie feels as if she has to survive so she never gets in to a dis respective mode. Netie {her little sister} tells her that she has to learn how to fight so the kids won't take over her life. Shug Avery { a star that gets sick and no one would take care of her accept for Mr______ because he is in love with her. Now Celie has to care for her to even though Shug called her ugly the first time she met her.

The Color Purple bookclub response 1

Elleshamma Walker
Class 802
Title: The Color Purple
1-9 PGs
So far in "The color Purple" the main character's name is Celie and right in the beginning Celie gets raped by the person who raised because her mammy was to sick to h ave sex with the husband. The husband took advantage of Celie and he was the one who got her pregnant twice .
Now Celie's mother is dead and the husband gets worse on Celie. She got beat for winking at a man in church. Now the man wants to take her little sister Netie but the husband says no because she is way to young to be a mother o his three children. So the husband says that he could have Celie because she is the next one and the oldest and he tells the man that he do not need no fresh woman inferring the fact that she got pregnant twice. He raped her because his wife was sick and could not make love to him so he told Celie that she would make up the stuff her mother couldn't or did not do for him when he asked.

Alice Walker response

I can relate to Alice Walker because we have the same birthday same last name and we both have four or more brothers. I also can relate to her because as an eight year old my tom boy years were over. When she was a young girl her right eye was damaged. When I was born my left was weaker than my right eye and until this day I have a stronger view with my right eye. I think she is a very strong woman she mainly talks about what used to go on with anger, peace , being creative and slavery I think she wants to open the eyes of not just young people but every one.
