Alice walker

When trying to analyze why the content of the novel, The Color Purple, and the way it is, we perceive that there are certain things that influenced the events or things that influenced the writer to write a novel of its nature. We must understand these events and situations that were of the great influence. In most cases this time period would be during the childhood and early midlife and later life of the author.Alice Malsenior Walker was born on February 9th, 1944 in Easton, Georgia, the eighth and youngest child of Minnie Grant and Willie Lee Walker. Though her parents were poor sharecroppers and dairy farmers she grew up in a very loving home environment. Her first memories include her great-great-grandmother Nettie, after whom she named a character in her novel The Color Purple. In the summer of 1952, at the age of eight, while playing "Indians and Cowboys" with her five brothers and two sisters (Walker was an Indian with a bow and arrow in her hands), her elder brother Bill, accidentally blinded her in her right eye when she shot his BB gun.

These events are also reflected in the plots, setting, theme and characters of The Color Purple. Walker's first novel received literary praise, as well as also a lot of criticism. Walker's teachers at Spelman encouraged her to attend Sarah Lawrence where she would be one of the handfuls of African-American at the prestigious University.
