What mood were you aiming for, and how did your editing choices help you communicate the message or emotion of the letter?

 The way I portrayed my video was in particular sadness and pity for celie what she went through in her family and the way that she had been treated this video helps express with videos her pain and how her mother would treat her and would cuss at her, it also portrayed her  stress of being a little kid having to take care of other little  kids and this video well captures her internal emotions to how she would be about her mothers death the death bed video captures the sadness and the way I tried to bring all these feelings and expressions to life was by finding videos that well express the letter and words that underline the main idea of each sentence would be strong words like her stressing about taking care of her siblings "by the time I get the kids ready it be dinner time" well expresses the stress she is feeling and her fear of what might come after she gives birth to her child this is what is making her slower and what is making her unexpressed another way I broug...

Prompt: At the end of Letter 21, Celie and Sofia share a rare moment of laughter that softens the tension between them. Write about a time when you and a sibling or family member shared an unexpected moment of joy after things had been tense or confusing. Explain how that moment helped bring you closer.

 A time when me and my siblings were tense with one another was when he were arguing about things that had happened in our home and they had said it wasn't fair that I as the oldest was doing stuff that they couldn't but it wasn't about that and it was bout the things that could happen to them and something that would harm them they had only thought about the negatives and not the positives they thought that I was just showing off and not telling them the full story but then one day I sat them down and told them that they had to wait a little bit longer because then they wouldn't understand they had thought that the reason I would go into my mothers room during Christmas was to take peak at the Christmas presents and to just steal them but then I told them that I was actually in there to talk to Santa and that the little elf's would talk to me about what they wanted and how one day I got turned into an elf and I had to actually help wrap some presents for them and t...

Prompt: Celie tells Harpo to “beat” Sofia because she believes that’s how men control women, but this advice causes pain and conflict. Think about a time when someone gave you advice that sounded right at first but ended up being wrong. How did it affect your situation or relationships? What lesson did you learn about thinking for yourself?

 A time I had gotten bad advice would have been when I would ask my friends about my boy problems and they would sit there and tell me what to say to every text and how to treat him and at first it was going pretty well and sounded good but then when things started to go in the down fall areas they had given me a specific advice that I swore to myself was the best thing to not listen to him a to ignore him for days and if he really cared he would come looking for me and be at my knees but it was not like that at all and in it actually worked the whole opposite way and it was something that was harming the both of us in ways we could not speak about because while I was ignoring him I was not paying attention to what he actually wanted to tell me this lead to intense  conflict and arguments that I did not know how to deal with so I had realized that I had ruined my own relationship with my own problems I didn't know how to fix. Today in class we read and did a lesson about how t...

Prompt: Letters 11–16 show how relationships can be full of misunderstanding and pressure. Harpo wants love, but he also wants power. Sofia wants freedom, not control.
