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?

 When i was younger of course i believe in Santa Clause. Though kids at school will tell me all the time santa was fake i didnt believe them. One day, i woke up in the middle of the night and saw my father wrapping gifts. I was devastated. I felt tricked and lied to. Out of spite and rebelliousness, i went to school the following week and told everyone Santa was fake. Given , i was telling everyone i could possibly tell, students began to cry. The  teacher decided to call my mom , and i had to go home for the rest of the day.

Prompt: 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.

What made the dynamic shift, and how did your understanding of that person evolve?

 A relationship that changed over time was my relationship woth my paternal grandparents. When i was younger i used to talk, text and visit them in Virginia very often. As i grew up i became less attached. Not because of anything negative, but simply because it just happened. I still love them dearly , we just communicate less. Growing up they taught me alot and put me through learning experiences so for that im grateful.
