Family Reunion

The book ends on a happy note even though it started out with racism and violence. As the years passed by the characters seemed to mature and the violence and racism was starting to fade away. Celie writes her last letter to God, the stars, the sky, the people and everything else. She writes this letter as if it were a prayer. The last letter basically sums up everything they have gone through in the story and how it all turned out. It is about a homecoming of Nettie, Olivia, and Adam. These were the people that were in Africa the whole time the story took place. Celie finally sees her children for the first time. They all have a big family reunion on the Fourth of July. Celie ends the letter by saying Amen. The reader can see that one strong black woman was able to withstand violence and racism from almost everyone in the book. Racism still goes on today but it isn’t as bad as it was back when this story took place.
