As we read the first 7 letters of this book, it was kind of uncomfortable and unsettling to read. As read so far, we can see that Celie has already gone through alot, and her childhood is already traumatized. As she was sexually assaulted by her dad, and got pregnant twice by him, it had effect her mentality and spiritually.
Today was sort of a good day, besides the cold wind of course. I was kind of irritated, but I went on throughout the day. Our class started on a new book today and even though it is kind of horrifying, it is good so far. I can't wait to read more tomorrow!
The things that irritate us are the things that motivate change. We as people tend to speak out against the things we dislike, therefore inspiring others to agree. So many things change because of disagreeing :)
ReplyDeleteWhat I do notice is that despite how your day was not the best, you had that book to look forward to. It is great to have things to look forward to because it helps us not dwell in the negatives of the present. I hope your days to come are much better.
