The Color Purple
/Question. Choose a movie from the list provided below or find a newspaper story which depicts a social issue over time. (If you choose the latter, include copies of all relevant newspaper clippings). The Color Purple is the richly textured, decades-spanning story of Celie, an uneducated woman living in the rural American south. Forced to marry a brutal man she calls "Mr.," Celie turns and shares her grief only with God. She is transformed by the friendships of two women, acquiring self-worth, and the strength to forgive. We see issues like power in the family, white power over blacks, oppression, invisible walls; we also see private troubles and public issues that are evident and will be addressed. I will discuss the role of 'Ideological Power' and show how it is conveyed. I will speak about a character in the story that is different from myself and give my opinion on his or her character. I will also pick out a character I do not like in the movie and express my opinion as to why I do not like him or her. All these will be looked at in the following essay.
