They turned their nose up in the air as if they thought they was better than her. Even though most probably came from a similar background such as her.

Do you think the baby doll Virginia wanted had anything to do with the others pregnancy (5pts)? I do, I think she just wanted to love someone, or in this case some thing like she wanted to be love. I think in a sense she wanted to also be like her mom, as all daughters want to be when they are little. What did you think of Gordon (2.5pts)? I thought Gordon was quite masculine in a sense.

How alike were Gordon and Virginia’s father (2.5pts)? I do to a certain point, They both care for her, whether it was to be well dressed or to want whats best for her. He was also head of the family and firm in rules such as her father. Only because she wanted love and protection. Do you think Virginia’s mother ignored her after remarrying, or was this something the Virginia as a child perceived in her own mind

Letter 29 of the Color Purple by Alice Walker shows the gender role differences between Harpo and his wife, Sofia. Throughout the passage Harpo is concerned about his inability to punish Sofia. He has grown up learning that being a real man, means punishing your wife, and failure to do so shows how weak a man can be. Harpo admired the way his father, Albert, could order around Celie. He liked the control he had over her, and how she had to do what Albert said, or she would be beaten. All Harpo wants is the power Albert has, even if it means hurting those he should love the most.

Also, to add to that, almost everyone was rude and yelled racial slurs, while the mobs were vet unhappy and gave threats; physically and verbally. As Beals stated, “Some of the white people looked totally horrified, while others raised their fists to us. Others shouted ugly words.” This quote shows how the white people (mobs) were rude and shouting “ugly words” and racial

I wanted you to see something about her—I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway
