    I grew up with a Game Boy Color in my hands. No matter where I went‚ I always had the “Grape Purple” device loaded with any Pokemon game. My favorite was a copy of the Crystal version I bought with my allowance from a friend’s garage sale. He had failed to mention that the game didn’t save‚ but I fell in love with the whole experience of choosing a new starter that I just played it over and over again unbothered. It was the first time I had felt like I’d been transported to another world‚ and encountered

The syntax that Walker uses to represent Celie’s voice is often short‚ simple and lacking in description. ‘I am fourteen years old’ shows this. The almost constant use of short‚ simple sentences could indicate to the reader that Celie has a very basic understanding of written

    Alice Walker’s The Welcome Table. I chose this piece of literature because I read her novel The Color Purple when I was in high school‚ and I really enjoy her writing style. This story also brings back memories of things my family would tell me about how terribly black people were treated during that time period. It makes me sick to think of how people were treated so horribly simply because of the color of their skin. This story inspires me to stand up for my faith‚ gives me hope‚ and makes me

Thick branches would tangle together‚ rejoicing in unison‚ sharing trails of ivy between the tiny gaps. It doesn’t do that anymore.
