The Color Purple

Compare/Contrast Book Vs. Movie:
The structure of the movie is different from the structure of the novel. The book is composed of letters to God, but the movie doesn't shows this. The movie shows Celie just talking to God but not actually writing. God plays a big role in book because all of Celie’s letters are addressed to God, but in the movie Celie just has faith in God that she can survive.
     Another way the book is different from the movie was the situation about Shug Avery. In the movie it was very brief about who Shug was and the things she has done. It was also brief about how Celie really felt about her. In the book Celie goes into details about her crush on Shug and how she really felt about shug.  One more difference is how in the novel Shug asked, “How your god like?” and in the movie Shug and Celie do not even talk about god.(Walker, 201). 
     Both book and novel the theme Womanhood is expressed in so many ways. It is expressed through self-discovery and growth, and race relations and racial identity that impact womanhood greatly. It was very hard for Celie to grow, learn, love, and identify herself because she was a woman, she was black, she.
     Review:
    My Personal review would be this novel gets 5 star rate and I would recommend others to read it. This novel has many differences from the movie and it's helps analyze the movie. The movie is already long therefore every specific event wasn't exactly the same and the novel had more details. It also goes into details about how Celie found and embrace her womanhood. She started off weak and only a fighter for her sister but not herself. Not to spoil the novel, but I feel that this has been one of my favorite books and others should give it a read.
