When Celie says, “The God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know,” she expresses disappointment, betrayal, and disillusionment. Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

  Prompt Response:  When I was younger I believed that Santa was real. I would write a list of things I wanted for Christmas and just as you know I eventually got most of them. As I got older I started to realize that it was actually my parents that would set up the presents under the tree. To be honest at that time I  didn't expresses disappointment as I knew my parents work hard to make it feel magical and helped me understand that Christmas isn't about gifts but more of spending it with family. 

Pretend you are writing a blog entry as Celie; the moment you uncover the hidden letters. Describe what you would think, say, and do, and how this discovery would reshape how you see Mister and yourself. Reflect on why this moment would matter so much and how it would change your next choices.

  Prompt Response:  Dear God,  As soon as I saw Nettie's familiar handwriting at the bottom of Mr. _____'s trunk, I could not believe  Mr. _____ would hide something this important to me . I sure thought that Nettle had been killed but I'm glad that she is alive and well. I am so angry that I could kill Mr. _____ for a ll of this time I could've been writing to my sister, planing to meet each other again, and Mr. _____ took that away from us.  But I can't confront him into my rage just yet, not until I'm sure I can make it out of here without him noticing anything. 

In Letters 46–50, Celie begins to see Albert more clearly—his flaws, his regrets, and the ways he changes when he is no longer in complete control of her. Their relationship slowly shifts from fear and dominance to honesty and distance. Write about a relationship in your life that changed over time as you grew older or more aware. What made the dynamic shift, and how did your understanding of that person evolve?

  Prompt Response:  When I was younger I had a relationship with a girl which I still regret ending it to this day. As I grew older I just realize how dumb I was and maybe now I can make up to it but maybe I'm too late. I just tell myself maybe things are like this for the better of good and that life just continues on. :( Summary:  We read 5 more letters of the novel Reflection:   I got better reading comprehension and analysis skills.

Discuss something meaningful or memorable you experienced over the break, or reflect on what you felt most thankful for during that time.

  Prompt Response:  Something meaningful that I did this break was help out with the cooking.
