The need for white physical appearance and identity.
The use of derogatory language to describe white AND black people.
The epidemics of AIDS & Cocaine.
The significance of 'The Colour Purple' and Farrakhan in relation to Precious' understanding of her cultural history.
The identity of the combining factors; being black AND female.
The questions I will ask will be;
·
When knowing before reading, it was
going to be a novel about a poor black girl and the community she lives in- did
it meet your expectations in terms of the way it was written and described as a
story? Did it meet your expectations of the emotional impact it would have on
you?
·
Do you think it is good or bad that
Precious doesn’t seem to pay much attention to her history of being black and
just focuses on herself?
