In all reality I believe that Sapphire is a great writer, she accomplished a very difficult task by embracing her character. Sometimes when you need a book you can tell that the author becomes caught up on the descriptions (such as scenery, objects, environmental) and lose track of the character. Sapphire embraced her character throughout the whole book using her eyes to create the world around the character. I respect Sapphire for this form of writing.

Many people in class complained about the reading of the book but, I didn’t find it hard at all. To be honest it was probably one of the easiest books we read so far. I think this because now in days my generation and future generations are butchering the English language through technological devices such as texting, Facebook, Twitter, Ipads, etc. So reading chopped English isn’t that difficult for me as say my grandmother or mother might find it.

Also, when reading through Sapphire style it gives you a sense of a harsh reality because the purpose/message isn’t meant to be ignored. It made me upset and angry that so much can be put into a character. The fact that the story wasn’t based on someone made me question Sapphire on why she would write something so harsh and why society excepted it to the point that it went into production.
