I really enjoyed this class and it has taught me a lot. I loved learning all the different stories and the reasons or feelings behind why they wrote them. Before I read these I was always a little lost one some references books or movies made. Now that O have read them they all make sense, it's really a great feeling to know that you have back ground info on what they are talking about and knowing the emotion they are trying to make you feel. I also now know just how elebrate these stories are and how you really have to read between the lines to understand what the author is trying to tell you.
          I loved the stories with the Greek and Roman Gods . I have always loved the stories of the Gods but it was nice to see them be invovled with the humans of that time. I have also always been a fan of Shakespeare so I loved Hamlet!

Ok back to the Color Purple. There is a man who has come and wants to marry Nettie ( Celie's sister) but their father won't give up Nettie because he wants to do what he did to Celie now. So he gives Celie up to the man saying that she is ruined (because she has had two kids) but she knows how to cook and clean so she will be a good wife. The man unwilling takes up their fathers offer and marries her and takes her home. She really does not want to be with this man and to top it off when she gets to the mans home one of his 5 kids throws a rock and hits her in the head!This book has been changed into a movie and I thought some of you would like to see how and who made it so heres a link!
