Character Sketch-Shug Avery
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Shug Avery was a very passionate African-American blues singer, and I believe quite a lot throughout the novel . Her evolvement was interesting to observe. First impression of her wasn’t positive because she appeared rather inelegant and also quite selfish. In essence, she seemed to be unlikable as well as superficial.
Shug (originally Lilly) didn’t really embrace herself and adopted a nickname – “Shug”. However she developed a sexual relationship with Celie and with that broke the boundaries of traditional gender roles. She was outspoken, exteremely honest and not easy to affect .
All her three children were born out of wedlock.
She is a good example of sexuality and gender not being as univocal and simplistic topics as they may seem since she was a bisexual (sexual relationship with Celie).
Throughout the novel Celie’s mother was compared to Shug. Celie saw her mother in Shug while she took Shug as a role model herself. Shug had a great influence on Celie who was in a violent marriage . Thanks to Shug, Celie learned to stand up for herself and also got to know herself and her worth. All thanks to the help she received form Shug. I believe that Shug brought Celie back to life as she taught her about self- esteem and self-worth.
I think that deep inside Shug was actually a good and caring person , not like it seemed in the beginning of the novel. I also notice some empathy for Celie. Shug was always there for her and supporting her. However, she had some problems with staying with one person . She later fell in love with a yough 19- year -old man. Her heart never fully belonged to one person, she couldn’t love and stay with only one single person.
As Shug had many responsibilities, she tried to share her time between her loved ones and work etc. All in all, I consider her a strong woman who defied her low position in American culture. She didn’t care much about what others thought about her or her preferences.
There was a quote that got stuck in my head: Finally , Shug is the color purple personified. She is both red and blue simultaneously. Red represents jazz and life, and the blues’ origins are in misery and disappointment. Together, red and blue create purple.

Character Sketch – Christophine Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys Christophine was the servant of Annette and the nurse of her daughter Antoinette. She was a wedding present from Alexander Cosway, the first husband of Annette. She practices magic which is called obeah, and also has wide knowledge of the Caribbean black culture. She has had all her three children with different men, but has still remained single. She opened her reason why she didn’t want to get married in a quote: All woman, all colors, nothing but fools. Three children I have. One living in this world, each one a different father, but no husband, I thank my God. I keep my money. I don’t give it to no worthless man. I think it also gives out her idea of marriage. She thinks that woman who get married are fools because married people share their money and other possessions with husbands, who in her opinion aren’t worth it at all. Throughout this novel, Christophine a

unsure about her actions and she wasn’t ready for her role as the mother. She was constantly tired of little Tom wanting her attention. She may be more responsible than her brother Jack, on the other hand she is less analytical. Julie is often unable to see the consequences of her decisions and actions. For example, actions involving Derek into their lives, which also led to the exposure of their secret. Losing parents definitely had a large role in forming Julies character. As if losing both-father and later mother wasn’t hard enough, they couldn’t tell anyone and she had to take all the responsibility so they could avoid ending up in foster care. I can only imagine how Liisa-Maria Pihlak, 12B hard it must’ve been for a teenage girl, to start acting like an adult to due such circumstances. Julie’s father used to make fun of her ambitions of becoming a famous athlete, however she was actually pretty talented. She held

low, thrilling voice. It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down, as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth, but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion. Jay Gatsby is the one who fell for Daisy’s seductive and unforgettable character. To him, Daisy is the embodiment of perfection. Daisy and Jay were in a relationship long, long time ago when they were young and way before Jay left to go to fight in the war. Daisy promised to wait for him, but instead she married Tom who promised her a wealthy and otherwise great life. To Gatsby, Daisy is charming, sophisticated and all other great things but in reality she is a shallow person who is in love with money and materialistic things

"Anna Karenina" kokkuvõte

A group of Russian volunteers, including Vronsky, who does not plan to return alive, depart from Russia to fight in the Orthodox Serbian revolt that has broken out against the Turks. Meanwhile, amid the joys and fears of fatherhood, Levin no longer feels he lacks Christian faith; he decides to give his life its own meaning through acts of goodness. Part 1, Chapters 1-6 The first line of the book is one of the most famous in literature: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." The line leads into a household crisis between a wife and husband, Dolly and Stiva, but also forecasts the issues that will arise throughout the rest of the book, all of them having to do with personal relationships and family structures: especially those of Stiva and Dolly, Anna and Karenin, and Anna and Count Vronsky. Stiva's habits are described in detail. To avoid

" "But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood." "It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them." "Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all." Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news. Chapter 2 Mr. Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited on Mr. Bingley. He had always
