The Color Purple Argumentative Essay

878 Words4 Pages

John and Mark are having a conversation about the book The Color Purple by Alice Walker John: Mark, I just finished this book, The Color Purple by Alice Walker have you read it? Mark: Yea, I’ve read it. Quite frankly, I didn’t like it. John: Are you kidding me? The book was fantastic! What didn’t you like about it? Mark: I didn’t like how it was set up in entries, I hated how difficult it was to read. The book felt like it just dragged on forever. There was no sense of plot. All in all, I was just not a fan of the book. John: You’re absolutely out of your mind. You have no sense of poetic work. Everything you just said was wrong. Mark: How? John: The entries are used to make the novel look as if it functions as a diary and a conversation between the main character Celie and God. Mark: I guess I didn’t think of it like that …show more content…

John: I’m convinced that you have no sense of poetic skill at all Mark: Maybe, I just thought it was awkward John: Celie battles through so many life obstacles with her family, her sexuality, her identity. Through these entries, you feel as if you’re actually there with her as she’s going through all these tribulations. As she battles through all these troubles, you can see how to handles it and most importantly, in my opinion, how to asks God to resolve it. Mark: I’m not very religious, so I really didn’t really relate to Celie when she was asking God to help. John: You don’t have to be religious to see the symbolism. Throughout everything she went through, she still relied on someone, and she could still talk to someone, even if she couldn’t physical talk to him. Mark: Honestly, I didn’t consider that. Come to think of it, you really do need someone you feel like you can vent to when things aren’t going your way. John: You really do, that’s why I thought it was really cool that she started every entry with “Dear God” Mark: For

    Though the plot is really good, there are still some things that weren’t as good. One thing that I thought was a little weird was that the book was written at a highschool level. Another thing was the abrupt sentence changes and some of the sentences were worded a little differently. Also, some things were reiterated more than needed and certain words were way overused. Yet, even with all of these lesser things there was still some really good things(besides the plot) that I noticed.

    The narrator travels through the past to pluck the likes of Walt Whitman, Beethoven, and Shakespeare from their graves to broadcast their works across the earth. Corwin’s piece also has the element of poetic, elevated style, as exemplified by such phrases as “the fulminating thunderclaps of Jove” (4) and “magniloquent with love and hate, with sacrifice and sin…” (3). The style of the epic is even more evident in the fact that Corwin’s piece is of course meant to be listened to, not read. Traditional epic poetry is likewise very much rooted in the oral tradition, in recitation and performance.
