Celie's+Growth

=  Celie's Growth Throughout the Book          Celie starts off in the book as a very apprehensive and quiet character. She doesn't really know how to stand up for herself because she is cut down and degraded throughout her whole life. Celie is such a strong character mentally because of all the physical and mental abuse she has to go through. This abuse, however, gets her to where she needs to be and the woman she needs to become. I feel bad for Celie in the begining of the book as most people do. Although, twards the end of the book i start to become very proud of her and i see her as a more strong outspoken women. One main reason Celie changes so much is due to Shug Avery's help. Shug helps Celie see herself as a beautiful women not just some man slave. Shug is a blessing to Celie because after Nettie leaves Celie doesn't have much hope. When Shug comes, however, she finds strength through her. Celie becomes more comfortable with her body and her self image when Shug comes into her life. To see Celie start off as such a sad, uneducated, poor little girl to watch her become into a beautiful, strong women, was probablly my favorite part of the book. Not only do you read about Celie's life but you feel as if your with her every step of the way. =
