Comparing the color purple Novel to the movie and overall review

      "The Color Purple" novel and movie are different in many ways. While the movie is detailed it lacks some important events that can be used to help better understand the concept of the movie as a whole. In the book Celie writes that she of raped, but the movie shows Celie and Nettie playing in a field. We also don't see when Celie's mother dies like it is described in the book. The movie also had no mention it even a hint that Nettie had a boy friend while the book does. We also do not get to see squeak being raped like it is described in the book. The intimacy between Shug Avery and Celie is also not really shown in great detail in the movie.
     The movie and novel are just as alike as they are different. They both show the life of Celie from the time she was 14. They also both show the birth of Celie's children and the separating of them. They show the struggle of Celie raising kids that were not get own. They showed the breaking down of Sofia and her spending time with her children. They show Nettie and Celie's children reuniting once again. They show how Celie grows into herself and becomes more of a woman. They also sheep l show off Shug's new husband.
    In my overall review of the novel I feel that everyone should read this book  especially if they have seen the movie. The book helps you understand the movie better because it gives you more detail about the things that are happening. It also explains some of the things that the movie will leave you questioning. The message that the book also gives you I'd very important. It teaches you that with tone you can change and become a better version of yourself.
