The Color Purple Reflection|Journal Entry Day 13   Christmas comes around. While Mr.______ and Grady drink, Shug and Celie do all the work through the house and conversate. Singing around the world, Shug has become successful. She has purchased numerous items. The relationship between Shug Avery and Grady seems like it was love at first sight. The two met when Shug's oil gave out on the car and Grady fixed it. Because Celie and Mr.______ have love for Shug, they feel jealous.   Day 13:  I practiced with my team again for the Drill conpetition. I think today was one of our best practices. The more our team do, the better we will get as a unity. I went on a field trip yesterday, so I missed second block lessons. The lesson was slope fields. As soon as my teacher, Ms. Mahoney, taught it, I caught on. Even though I missed a day, I am responsible for understanding and catching up on the work.
The Color Purple Reflcetion|Journal Day Entry 12   During some of the previous letters, Sofia has got herself into jail. Letter 40, Shug, Celie, and Mr.______ dress Squeaky, or Mary Agnes. To resemble an appearance of a white woman. They wash her hair, give her an old black bible, bathe her, etc. Furthermore, they tell Squeaky to say Sofia's concern is not the punishment, but not to aid as a maid for a white woman.   Day 12:  Started off the first class practicing for our upcoming Armed Drill Team in March. The team still has things to work on, but the commands should be executed like it is on the Drill sheet. When second block came, I went back to my first block teacher for the field trip. In addition to going on the field trip, I missed Jonathan's signing off to Alabama A&M. In spite of that, I know he had many people supporting him. The field trip was a rifle competition at Williamson High School. The first team competed, but the other teams did not. Because...
The Color Purple Reflection|Journal Entry Day 11   Letter 39, Celie, Shug, Mr._____, the prizefighter, Squeak, Odessa, and two of Sofia sisters sit at a table to discuss Sofia in jail amd how to get her out. Harpo and the prizefighter thinks smuggling in a gun or dynamite is going to help Sofia. It seems unreasonable for the rest of the group. Afterwards, Squeak, or Mary Agnes, says she is related to the warden. The group like the idea of Squeak dressing up and pleading to the warden to let Sofia out of prison.   Day 11:  In first block, I was glad to help with the items for a rifle competition against Williamson High School. Putting in extra pellets and such, so my team is prepared. Also, there was Hi-Q competition today at school. Our school came in 3rd place. I am sure the students will practice harder the next time. Not falling under pressure. Plus, my head was hurting because a student made a joke about something.
The Color Purple Reflection|Journal Day Entry 10   In Letter 26, Celie describes Shug's hair being full of tangles, short, and kinky texture to it. She combs her hair with grace. Shug wanted to Celie to hurry and get done. Once Shug relaxed, she started to hum a tune Celie thought the tune sounded dirty. The reader can infer Celie and Shug are getting closer and comfortable with one another.   Day 10:   Today, I practiced again with my Drill Team. There are certain things the team has to work on, but our team will pull it together. Things my team mainly need to work on is synchronicity and not crossing over the boundaries. If our team cross over the boundary at the Fairgrounds, then the team loses points. And our team does not want that to happen. After school, I went to my family mailbox and got the mail. Opened it and received two more acceptance letters plus scholarships. My mother was really proud of me, I was glad to see her that way. Day 10.    ...
Journal Entry Day 9   My weekend was different, but the same as any other weekend would be. Played with four year old brother. We played games on my PS3. He actually know how to work the buttons and learn the controls a little bit. I can tell he is going to love games. Also played on the PS4. Me and my 15 year old brother got to a few levels on Lego Marvels. I enjoyed my weekend. Day 9

Letter to God from Mammy's (Celie's mother) perspective
The Color Purple Reflection/Journal Day Entry 8   Letter 25, Celie cooks the family breakfast, but Shug Avery only wants a cup of coffee and cigarrettes. While Celie eats her breakfast, Shug gazes in her magazine and disliked the white woman having fun in the photo. Aroma of the breakfast spreads around and Celie tries to make Shug get some of the food. Shug falls into eating the breakfast, Celie noticed. Mr._____ surprised at how did Shug Avery eat. Celie says nobody could not resist the smell of cured ham.   Day 8:   Today, I had a mindless moment. After 1st block, of course, it was second block. I do not know why, but I go to intervention instead of second block. I knew something was wrong because the time difference. I then realized the block I was supposed to go to and laughed. When fourth block comes, I go to my second block teacher, Ms. Mahoney and tell her what happened. Day 8.
