Me Review of Ms. Walker's The Color Purple

     Rarely would anybody find me legitimately and actively invested in a book. Which is why I feel like The Color Purple is honestly one best and most interesting novel of all time. The thing I liked most is its unapologetic and  blunt story telling style. Leaving nothing out, the reader is exposed to everything, such as abuse and intimacy. I felt like this story was one dealing with finding one's self and female empowerment. I also found that this novel is filled with  valuable life-lessons on morals and how people should treat one another. Lastly  I appreciated the powerful themes this novel brought about and the controversial topics that it explored. This was truly one of the most introspective and mature novels I have read and I enjoyed the the views that I seen and the lessons that I  learned from The Color Purple.

The Novel Vs. The Movie:The Color Purple

     Often times when a novel gets a movie adaptation, sometimes the director makes changes to tell the story in a different way.Although there were major changes made to the adaptation to appeal to a wider audience or make the film a different twist, the movie stayed true to the major plot points in the story and was an extremely well-made adaptation to an amazing novel.One way the Novel differs from the film is that the novel is  more explicit and thorough in its story telling. By this I mean in the way that the novel explores the characters and the relationships that they share with one another . The most prominent one, of course, is the relationship between the Ceile and Shug. The novel explores the idea of their lesbian relationship more in-depth while the movie is more vauge and built more on hinting at a relationship rather that addressing it directly.
     The film also has this bit where it will add to a scene give a more dramatic effect. This can be seen in the scene where Celie sees her baby girl Olivia again in the store with the reverend's wife. In the movie the child is but a baby, however in the book the child is much older. In the movie this scene gives a more heart-wrenching mood when she struggles with letting go of Olivia to give her back to the reverend's wife. Another scene I observed gave more of the cinematic effect was the scene where Mr. over heard Nettie and Celie taking about him. This was, in my opinion a great scene because it added a sense of reason to why Mr. so ferociously kicked Nettie off his land. It's the major changes like these that make the overall great film different that its predecessor. As Ms. Walker said herself, "Remember, the movie is not the book".

Reflection of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one that will always spark conversation among those who read it. This unapologetic piece of literature gives the reader a raw view of social hippocracy through the eyes of a character that is the true definition of what modern society would call a person that is "street smart". I learned the most from this book, not from reading the book, but more from discussing with my peers about what we read and understanding the lessons that the characters learn through the decisions that they have to make. This novel has made a big impression on me mostly pertaining to the way that I view the world and the actions that other people take. Although this novel, I would say, is not for the easily offended I would recommended just for the conversations that could be had about Finn's adventures. All in all a fantastic read if I had to rate it would be a five star easily!

Analyzing Quotes by Emily Dickinson

1. "Forever is composed of nows."
2. "That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet."
3. "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
4. "If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry."
5. "This is my letter to the world/That never wrote to me."
6. "Saying nothing sometimes says the most."
7. "I dwell in possibility..."
8. "Nature is a haunted house--but Art-- is a house that tries to be haunted."
9. "Parting is all we know of Heaven,/and all we need of Hell."
10. "I have been bent and broken, but -I hope- into a better shape."
11. "in this short life/that only last ah hour/how much-how little-is/within our power."
12. "Whenever a thing is done for the first time, it releases a little demon."
13. "To shut your eyes is to travel."
14. "open me carefully."
15. "Till I loved I liked enough." 

1. I like this one, it is saying that every moment you live through is part of forever. It makes me think that in the grand scheme of things every moment counts.
2. I'm not sure of what exactly "it" refers to, however the way in which the quote is written suggests that "it" is something bad which is why the fact that "it" will never come again makes life so sweet.
3. This quote has a mood displaying regret or determination/ I can imagine that Emily has had her heat broken many times before which is why if she can prevent even one person from the same fate she will feel as if her life has not been wasted.
4. Poetry is supposed to invoke emotion and move the reader so if a piece of literature is able to do these things you can be sure that it is poetry. Emily uses a hyperbole when she says, "my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me," to reinforce her point.
5. Emily is showing resentment towards a world that she feels is unloving. The way she wrote the quote, the sapppiness is apparent. this is reinforced by diction such as "never" and "to me".
6. Silence forces the mind to think for itself. When the mind is let loose a person comes up with their own interpretation for what is trying to be, or needs to be, said. Therefore by one person saying nothing it forces the other to think, or say, the most.
