COLOR IS NOT IMPORTANT, A PERSON VALUE IS
Comparative PresentationAmanda Billings
The Color Purple Celie was a black girl who grew up in Georgia during

was able to forget her past

Beloved was only a spirit that stopped hurting people.
Left her past like it was a bad nightmare.
The big picture behind it all Slavery was one of the worst time periods to happen
in this world and everyone's story should be heard. The Color Purple was being told from a 14 year old
girl who had no choice but to grow up fast and hope to set free. Celie lost all of her family through death or lost connection.
Beloved was another story that people were getting abused and had the only hope that it would eventually end
Sethes’ child “Beloved” became this spirit that only was evil and people only hoped that Beloved would stop haunting them.
In both stories it is shown that both people had a terrible family life growing up into slavery, but the main point that stood out to me was that they made something of themselves no matter how hard they had it.“Never give up, for that is just the
place and time that the tide will turn”-Harriet Beecher Stowe
