Education

How much does education impact a person's life? Celie and her sister Nettie are very different from one another in personality but also when it comes to education. For example, Celie never got the privilege to attend school. Nettie, on the other hand, did go to school and did her very best to education Celie. She took in the time to teach her words and for her to learn how to read the book Oliver Twist. Celie's eyes opened a lot through the things that Nettie would tell her. Nettie would tell Celie that she needed to learn to defend herself, fight. Yet Celie's reply was always the same, that she did not know how to fight. That concept of fighting never registered in Celie's until much later. Nettie was already a fighter; She tried fighting for her freedom with Alphonso, but say that there was no way for her to win and she left. Celie would have never left if she would have not been forced into a marriage with another man. Only years after did she finally fight and begin her life. This all began with a simple principal of one not being given the ability to think for themselves. Due to Celie never being educated (behinds Nettie teaching her and getting her to learn and fight for herself), it was not something that she was use to. For it to register in her mind, it took her to begin believing in herself. She had to set her mind free from all the imprisonment. Education truly impacts people more than we think.
