Theme #1 Alice Walker uses several different techniques in her writing to get her point across to the reader. The use of conflict in the novel‚ “The Color Purple”‚ helps the author portray how society was during this time. The main conflict brought up in “The Color Purple” is based on the society’s views of gender‚ race‚ and ageism.

How is Macbeth Portrayed in the First Act? At the beginning of the play‚ Macbeth is known as the ‘bravest’ soldier and after the battle the Captain exclaims‚ ‘But all’s too weak‚ for brave Macbeth’. This shows that Macbeth is heroic and is a valiant soldier. I think that it is important that Shakespeare has depicted Macbeth as being a brave character because this influences him in murdering Duncan later on and it is crucial that we‚ as the reader‚ believe that Macbeth is capable of doing this

Analysis of Alice Walker’s The Color Purple “No one is exempt from the possibility of a conscious connection to All That Is.” Alice Walker explores this quote through the story of Celie.

I was very surprised how the article made a point of how mothers are represented in the media. They are usually represented as cooking‚ cleaning‚ and baby machines. It is sad but is oh so true. In the article the focus is the way that mothers are portrayed in the media. The over simplification of the role of motherhood inside house and outside of the house is something to take notice to. Often in the media mothers are recognized for being housewives and care givers. Yes‚ this is true that they are
