Communication

It is sad to think of how much fear Celie had when it came to communication. Whether it was

how she was feeling, something that she wanted, or a question she had, she hardly every

communicated it. However, she does freely communicate with God in her letters. It is so sad to see

that she does not hesitate in telling him how she is feeling or what she wants, so it isn’t as if she is

confused about that. While communication would not have fixed everything for Celie, it may have

made things somewhat easier for her, therefore it is heartbreaking to think about how she never

put it out there, never let on to what she needed. Her life might have been so different had she

started communicating early on, maybe by telling about what her father was doing to her. Or

maybe it would not have, but either way, I think she would have felt so much better about herself if

she would have spoken the words aloud that she wrote in her letters to God.
