1. Briefly summarize the plot of the novel you read.
-this novel is a story about Celie's life. As a child she was abused by her father (Pa) and he raped her. She also was forced to marry someone who was abusive.
2. Succinctly describe the theme of the novel. Avoid cliches.
-the this novel is violent because the all the times she was abused and treated badly, also the other girls in the story like her sister. It is also in a way racial because it's about an African american lady in a bad town surrounded by bad things like violence(stereotypical) (cliche).
3. Describe the author's tone. Include three excerpts that illustrate your point(s).
-this novels tone to me is intense and serious or sad. Her whole life she was abused and treated like dirt, which is sad. And she also was beat and raped which is intently terrifying. Also this isn't a funny laugh about her sad life novel. Your suppose to feel putty for her and her life with the other people around her either in the same boat as her or the one abusing her or others.
4. Describe five literary elements/techniques you observed that strengthen your understanding of the theme and/or your sense of the tone. Include three excerpts (for each element) that will help your reader understand each one.
-the writing is intense and its her diction thatmakes you understand her problems. It makes you kind of interested in her life and you want to know if it gets better or if it stays bad until she passes away. Just the way every thing is put together and how the stories are easy to understand because you can relate to what's going on right now and the stories you hear.
