MEMORABLE MOMENT- JASMINE SALAMAT

                  The most memorable moment in my section was when Celie found out Mr.____ was hiding Nettie’s letters from her. “I watch him so close, I begin to feel a lightening in the head. Fore I know anything I’m standing hind his chair with his razor open.” (Walker 120) This part seemed to have brought fire into Celie, she has a weak spot for her sister and would do anything to keep her safe. Celie missed her sister greatly and she did not appreciate the fact that Mr.____ hid several letters from her. “Naw, I say. Mr.____ mean sometimes, but he not that mean. --- But how come he do it? I ast. He know Nettie mean everything in the world to me.” (Walker 119) It gave Celie more of a reason to be more aggressive and non passive toward Mr._____. The more anger she has the more strength she has to stand up to him. Shug Avery helped out by getting Mr._____’s key to unlock the trunk where all his secret stuff is hidden. This was a memorable moment because suspense builds up immediately and I was anxious to find out what was going to happen next. I enjoyed this part very much because I found it heart-warming that Shug would risk everything by helping Celie just because she knew how much Nettie meant to Celie. There were many questions running through my head as this particular part happened. What if Mr.______ came back earlier and caught Celie and Shug Avery? Together, Shug and Celie, steamed and opened the letters so that Celie could read them. Great emotions run through Celie’s head as she begins to read the letters. I find that if they got caught, it would result in more beatings toward Celie and Mr.____ would treat Celie just like he did in the beginning of the book, with no respect. I was overjoyed when I read Nettie’s letters to Celie. Nettie explained how happy and fortunate she was to be with Samuel and Corrine. It brought my spirit up along with Celie's knowing that Nettie is doing just fine.
