Hi Jasmine, I was interested when I was reading about your first impressions of The Color Purple. Your opinions and thoughts on the first few pages of the novel has given me new perspective and insight different aspects of the book. There are very few things missing, but there are some details and aspects of the novel that you can expand on.
Your first impression journal is well organized, logical, and very easy to follow, I did not have any confusion with the ordering of your paragraphs. You gave your insight on Kate, a character that did not stand out to me until now. You gave good reasons and evidence to support your opinion on how she is a strong and just character. I understand your impression of Celie and I have a similar opinion of her. I liked how you mentioned that she is in fact a strong character; I am interested in how she develops as a character and hope you are too.
I found a few problems with your work, mainly on what you did not talk about. Firstly, you didn’t speak much on the subject matter and setting of the novel. I believe that these aspects play a great role in understanding the novel, so you could be more informative when it comes to talking about this these particular aspects of the novel. Also, I think you were a bit confused about what tone meant, because you gave us the definition of tone instead of explaining to us what the tone of the novel actually is. Again, I think the tone of the is quite important to the understanding of the novel. Next time you can expand more on these topics and be sure to include your thoughts on these parts of the novel.
You had many positives and a few negatives in your first impression journal. I suggest that you continue writing in the way that you do, but also to make sure that you have included everything that is required to give the reader full insight. Great work!
