DISCUSSION QUESTIONS -- JASMINE SALAMAT

1) As the novel progressed Shug Avery stood by Celie’s side many times. Name situations where Shug demonstrated that she truly cared for Celie. Do you think Celie would be where she is now without Shug Avery?

2) How would you have dealt with the situation of Mr.____ hiding all of Nettie’s letters? Do you think this situation was Celie’s opportunity to finally stand her ground and confront Mr.____ for how badly he’s treated her?

3) How do you think the story would have changed if Celie never discovered that Mr.____ hid all of Nettie’s letter?

4) Sofia is one of the few women in this book that came off as aggressive, violent, and stood her ground. Do you think Alice Walker did a good thing by making a character like Sofia to portray that not all women were vulnerable and can be strong like her?


5) In one point of the novel, Celie and Shug encountered a sexual moment. How did this change your preception of Celie and Shug?
