I think that Alice Walker’s choice to write this novel in letters was a brilliant idea, and one reason for that is because it lets readers get to know Celie better than would have been possible without them. Because of her lack of communicating, we would have never known her she felt, what her emotions were, or even what her personality was like without the letters. I think it is a really cool thing to be able to learn all these things about her straight from what she writes about herself, and not from the perspective of a narrator, or of another character.
I'd have to agree. I thinnk that Walker decided that beause we were able to see the type of person Celie was alot better. Wen one is writing a descrition of a character thry're supposed to do it to teh extent that we can literally see/feel the character in front of us and Walker has always done a great job with that. It amazes me that she is even able to reate imagery/scenery through letters that Celie writes.
