Today the reserved lab was taken so we held class in L-202. It was a nice large smart classroom that I am going to see about holding, as a back up for Thursdays. The only problem with this set-up is that there are no writing databases on the desktop. In the lab I could have shown you the Beckford Handbook on-line which is also by Diana Hacker. There students could have looked up signal phrases, paraphrases, and other topics we discussed in the lecture. The assignment changed a bit from what I mention below. Students reflected on the first 5 chapters of Alice Walker: A Life in three paragraphs. In this brief reflection use two direct quotes and 1 paraphrase.
POST THE RESPONSE FOR TODAY HERE.
Visit http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/rules6e/Player/pages/Main.aspx. Beckford is better, but this site is good for practice exercises. Check it out in the Writing Center L-234, 231.
Homework is as stated below. We will meet in the Writing Lab on Monday. Keep a separate journal on each book beginning with White's.

“It is love that makes me look at what I can’t stand. When you love deeply, you can stand to see a lot more,” Alice Walker recalls on the premier night of The Color Purple. The same place that had been used so many years ago to tear down the hearts and spirits of “colored” folks, was used to uplift them by showing such a remarkable movie to whites and blacks alike.
In those times “it was unheard of for a sharecropper’s wife to ‘convalesce’ after the birth of a child,” pointing out the fact that Mrs. Walker did not rest long if at all after Alice was born. As a mother, I find it bothersome that immediately after childbirth you were required to go back to work. The traumatic yet joyful event is so quickly moved past as if it almost didn’t happen, almost inferring blacks were not born they were “made” to work for others.
In chapter four Alice points out that in order to survive during a time when President Herbert Hoover implemented relief programs to keep from economic disaster that only helped whites, blacks and Mexicans were forced to make ends meet for their families without the help of the government. Working as sharecroppers for little or no money was all that former slaves or blacks thought could be done. Walker’s father, Willie Lee decided (after being robbed by the owner of the land that he tended) to move his family to a “weather-beaten shack” so that he could become essentially a hard working man for May Montgomery doing whatever she needed. For six dollars a month, Willie was a driver, dairy man, and general laborer.

"Persuaded that only slavery could save the colony from collapse, British officials, in 1750, revoked the decree and announced that 'Negroes would be introduced' to the the region." I found this a little entertaining. The thought that the British officials thought that only African Americans could save their colony was ridiculous. The African Americans knew as much as the colonist about the land; what made them think that they would be able to save the colony.
"'Your job, if you were black, was to live with that knowledge...You had as good a time (and life) as you could, under the circumstances,'" Alice Walker recalls about the living situation in the south. I found this to be a very depressing. How could any have a good time during this time especially living in the south. Working all day and being degraded by every white man that comes around you. I don't think I would be able to take any of it.
In chapter five William (Bill) Walker recalls a past memory in which the Walker children go to a local carnival and they lose Alice. He searched every where and found her on the ferris wheel; which, he found confusing because he knew that she did not have any money or tickets to get on there. This was a foresight of what's to come next. And before reading the next chapter, I found that Alice being able to get onto the ferris was some sort of accomplishment. But then after reading the next chapter it kind of made me depress.

In this hart warming and wrenching tail of a young women’s accent through poverty and degradation. Which has some very interesting moments that seem to shine through the fog of memory to leave a lasting impression on the woman that is now such prolific a writer. Late in the fifth chapter I find a quote from Ruth Alice’s sister about an often-told story about flower in the great depression. After getting a newer dress and dulling herself up for a trip to town Minnie found herself confronted with a horrible woman, whom Minnie must contend with to get her flower. As is common and always cruel the woman decided that because Minnie was dressed so nicely, “Anybody dressed up as good as you don’t need to come here begging for food” seethed the woman. After a very well thought out retort about how the food was allocated with stamps, and she was not begging Minnie received an even more outrageous rebuke from the bitter woman. “The gall of niggers coming in here dressed better then me!” What a truly revealing story of how whites in the south had ingrained into their very belief structure the “place” where a African Americans should be. And the lengths of which they are willing to go to keep that insane idea from being challenged.

“The community would raise funds by people offering donations in the name of the cutest baby… With my family making such a fuss over me and showing off every minute, naturally, I won.” I found this quote to be a bit ironic due to the fact that there are a lot of proud parents out there, I mean pretty much every parent that has a child naturally brags about their progeny. But although I hate to say this, not every single one that has been boasted about is going to be famous or have some sort of success and a positive outcome. That’s what separates the good and the bad, that makes the successful ones stand out. But mainly, the quote got to me because overall, Walker did end up successful and even 60 years later, is still appraised, and as well, all along, even before Walker knew it herself. I sensed a foreshadow that crept up.
“If it requires lynching to protect women’s dearest possessions from raving, drunken, human beasts, I say lynch a thousand Negroes a week.” A legislator from Walkers time says this upon a statehouse and seems to have a lot of confidence in those kinds of practices and thinks that maybe somehow will intimidate and lower the crimes that often somehow involve the minority group. This quote reminded me that in Walker’s childhood, things weren’t fair for her, she had the odds against her. But it was wrong in so many ways, because we are all the same, we are humans. And for a human to portray another human as lowly or deserving of such a fate without even providing tangible evidence is simply illogical. You can’t assume that every crime during those days is cause by a minority. This got my emotions burned up, because I could imagine myself being lynched and being accused for some crime like raping a white woman.
In the time that Walker lived, it seemed that everything for her was impossible. She was poor, was a minority, and from what I’ve read so far, had faith while growing up. She struggled a lot obviously, but in return to only become stronger, and in the long run because this famous writer that overcame sharp obstacles. She was already famous before she even knew it and as well, her family was being put in danger by legislators or otherwise “rich white men,” by influencing evil practices and trying to point the crimes on certain ethnicities but not realizing that maybe the biggest criminals were people like himself that had that kind of mindset.

Alice Walker: a Life
Pg 1-32
At the beginning of chapter one, it talks about the area in which the Walker ’s lived and how it had very little opportunities for colored families. Programs that offered help for low incoming families excluded the colored people. Whites living in the area were racist and didn’t want anything to do with them. Work was limited and when a job is present, it usually comes with racial status.
As I read I’ve read a few of the other writings I’ve notice that some used the quote “It is love that makes me look at what I can’t stand. When you love deeply, you can stand to see a lot more,” (Alice Walker: A Life, page 8). When I read the book this quote especially caught my eyes, simply because it’s meaningful and true. In the time of segregation and poverty, where you have nothing, it is important that you have love for yourself, your family and your people. The love that they provide you will encourage and get you through difficult times.
Minnie Lou Walker, Alice Walker’s mom played an important role in Alice’s life, the person she is and the things she did had great effects on the person that Alice is today. When being told by a white person that blacks didn’t need an education Mrs. Walker replied, (cited in Alice Walker: a Life, page 15) “you might have some black children somewhere, but they don’t live in this house. Don’t you ever come around here again talking about how my children don’t need to learn how to read and write.” Nothing can tell you more about the kind of person Mrs. Walker was. She was an admirable person who stood up for her rights and education was a priority in her life.

When Alice Walker was born, her grandmother threw back the bed covers and announced “Lord have mercy, Minnie Lou done gone had this child!.” I liked this quote not only because it is the event that Alice was born, but because while I was reading it I felt the enthusiasm and happiness that was going through the grandmothers mind. Alice was the eighth and last child of the family, born on 2/9/1944.
During the depression, Willie Lee (Alice’s father) worked as a dairy man, general laborer, and chauffeur for a white woman named Montgomery. Fearing that the family would starve, he asked her if she can increase his wage from six dollars to twelve a month, and she replied “I was only paying Ed Little (a white guy who worked before Willie Lee) ten dollars and I would never pay a nigger more than I would pay a white man. Before I’d pay a nigger twelve dollars a months, I’d milk the cows myself.” This quote caught my attention because of all the hatred that Montgomery showed in it. I couldn’t imagine how Willie lee felt.
Every chapter shows how Alice Walker was a smart girl ever since she was little and every body knew that she was going to have a bright future. Alice was curious and deeply fascinated with nature; Doris Reid recalls how Alice was always reading something.
Because the family was going through money problems Mrs. Walker had to work, and put Alice in school when she was four. Even though kids in her class were twice her age Alice would outspell them.

"Anybody dressed up as good as you dont need to come in here beggin for food." "The gall of these niggers comin in here dressed better than me." The first thing that came to my mind when I was reading this particular passage was,what a stupid person. The person who made the comment was very ignorant.If Mrs. Minnie Lou Walker didn't need assistance she wouldn't have been there seeking Government aid. What a petty person she/he was. One would think such a comment would come out of the mouth of an adolescent.
When Jimmy Walker reminisced about the moment when Daddy Walker, Alice and himself were urgently seeking help for little Alice.I couldn't believe that even in the midst of an emergency no one would come to the aid of a fellow human being. The hatred for colored people ran so deep that even a child was unable get a break.
"The Walker family despised Shug Perry because she was considered a loose woman. My great-grandfather Albert was determined to get Henry out of her clutches and eventually persuaded him to marry another woman, Kate Nelson. Kate was from a better home and very stable. But Pa-Pa never really wanted her an kept having affairs." This meddle some family could have saved alot trouble I believe if they had of mind there own business. Henry should have just married Shug anyway he didn't stand to loose anything. Their family fortune was already gone and his father Albert wasn't the utmost standing father figure. The Walker family didn't want their eldest son to associate with a "loose woman" like Ms. Perry in any manner however, the irony of it all was that she was very much apart of the family because he never stopped seeing her. For, this colorful woman named Estella "Shug" Perry recieved unconditional love from Pa-Pa Walker,a woman he loved with all his heart and I'm sure the feeling was mutual.

Free-Write: Chapter 1-5
Alice Walker: A Life, written by Evelyn C. White is a book that is surprisingly, one that I’m enjoying. The book has great depth and the arrangement is excellent; from the beginning of her life, to her roots, and so on. Chapter one (1) through six (6) is the best way anybody could start off a book, great background information with the contrast of present situations in life. I can’t wait to see what’s in store in the upcoming chapters.
Chapter one (1), Georgia, the Whole Day Through, to the end of chapter five (5), Booker T, was mainly about Alice Walker childhood, with one chapter dedicated to her roots, chapter three (3). From chapter one through six, you follow Alice from her life as a little girl, to her life today, or at that moment; she’s doing a lot of flashbacking if you will. As stated in chapter one, “thirty four years after the man refused Willie Lee Walker’s [Alice Walker father] plea for a ride, that same highway would be packed with motorist...” (pag.7). The beginning and after paragraphs, if you have read them, would had told you that Alice suffer an eye injury and they w tried to get her to the hospital, but no one would help, not even the white man who stop to investigate the situation when they say them on that highway, which is the same highway Evelyn describes Alice riding down to her own premiere of “The Color Purple.”
My favorite chapter was three (3), Roots. In that chapter we got to know a lot about Alice family tree; from her parents, to her great grand-parents. Pages eighteen and nineteen were the most touching pages, so far. The part about Alice father parents not marring for love, but for “convinces,” had me thinking; if that was true about most down-south couples, back then, what was the secret that kept them together for so long, if they do stay together? Within the same pages I was dishearten by how Alice father, Willie Lee, saw his own mother get shot right in front of him; stating, “On July 4, 1921, while walking home from an outing with her son Willie Lee, Kate[Alice’s grandmother, Willie’s mother] was accosted by her former lover…” (pag.19). Alice Walker grandparents both had affairs, however, Kate Nelson, started feeling guilt, so she ended her affair, which didn’t take to kind to her lover, he shot her shortly after.
I’m up to chapter nine (9) in the book now, and the book is still getting good. I can’t wait to finish, so I can know how it ends. Great choice of literature Ms. Sabir!

“ Why you wanna waste $250 getting your sister’s eye fixed? She’s just gonna end up marrying a no-good nigger like you.” This quote is an example of how harsh white people could be to blacks. White people were so naive because they thought that time would never change the way they had to treat black people. What would make Dickie Stribling care about who Alice would marry in her future? He just couldn’t help himself from saying something negative. But I was happy to hear even through his negativity he did give Bill the loan for the doctor.
Throughout the chapters like the way she wrote the book. She would start to tell a story, but would then go back and give some history or background, and then would continue to tell the story so it would all make since. In chapter two Ruth is telling the story about when Alice was born. How her mother had told her about babies coming from a stump. How her mother had Alice before the midwife could get there. The chapter started off with Ruth being proud of Alice at the premiere to “The Color Purple”, and it ended with the brightness of Alice and the pride Ruth had for her little sister.
The book gives a lot of insight on Alice’s family. “The Color Purple” is my favorite movie, so while I was reading this book a lot of her family history reminded me of the story line from “The Color Purple”. “Estella was an attractive, high-spirited young woman who cared about Henry’s heart, not his inheritance (gone) or social standing. Nicknamed “Shug” (short for “sugar”), she loved to dance and carouse with him in the jook joints, rowdy taverns set deep in the backwoods.” One of the characters in “The Color Purple” was named Shug Avery who was a woman who sang in the Jook Joints. Mister was in love with Shug, I would suppose that Mister was Pa-Pa.

The first 5 chapters of Alice Walker did a wonderful job of painting the picture of what life was like for black people in the past. “Why you wanna waste $250 on getting your sisters eye fixed? She’s just going to end up marrying a no-good nigger like you.” (3) This was the first line in the book, and it really shows the mentality of white people in the south during the days of segregation. In this situation, Alice Walker had accidently gotten shot in the eye with a pellet from a BB gun, and her brother was asking his boss for a loan to get her eye fixed. His boss ended up giving him the loan, but grudgingly. This was only a small part in the story that opened the book. The part of the story that was the hardest for me, was the white man on the road, who when he was asked for a ride to get Alice help, just gave Alice and her daddy a dirty look and drove off. This behavior was typical of white people during the days of segregation.
Black people were often turned away from any kind of public help in the south. When Herbert Hoover began to create relief programs during the depression, black people were usually turned away. “They are being asked to shift for themselves.” (24) Even with the New Deal programs introduced by President Franklin Roosevelt, blacks often found public aid held from them. Even still, Alice’s parents were two very strong people who stood up for what they needed to be able to care for their children.
One line that really stood out to me was, “White people were so fixated on maintaining two of everything, that we didn’t have one good anything,” (10) This was said by a white women who was pointing out that segregation was not only inhumane, but also wasteful. This to me really shows what lengths white people would go through to avoid contact with blacks. How anyone could try and pass off segregation as “separate but equal” really baffles me. This book has really helped me to picture the struggles that black people have had to overcome.

Alice Walker: A Life
31 January 2008
The book Alice Walker: A Life is about a little girl herself in how she grew up in a poor and poverty area. When her mother said “why wanna waste $250 getting your sister’s eye’s fixed? She’s gonna end up marrying a no – good nigger like you.” It shows that how whites and African Americans are separated from one another. In the book Alice get hit by a BB pellet and it would take $250 to repair it. Alice’s parents could not pay that because they were farmer working crop fields and struggling to get by. The parents of Alice Walker could not afford to pay the $250 dollars. The parents of Alice had to let her eye site go for a well because of her parents cannot pay for the eye site because as a crop framer it was too expensive for the parents to pay.
The story of Alice Walker is sad because when they could not afford the payment of fixing her eyesight. It makes me how lucky I’m in today’s modern age of technology and that it was hard for Alice Walker to get her eyes fixed. In Alice Walker’s story here it was hard for her to just see with only one eye which is the right eye.
I think that Alice Walker had a hard life because of the eyesight that was limited because it was not repair like it should have been but could understand because of the parents that were farm workers working in the crop fields

“in his eyes Alice was just another poor. Ignorant, black sharecropper’s daughter”
“Before, Alice was inquisitive and extremely outgoing,” Reid remembered. “ she was the type of child that could charm a rock”
In chapter six (Reid) reminisce about how Alice was before the Traumatic incident and Compared it After how her mood changed and how she was somewhat a different person.
"We were walking up the hill when we saw a car comming and Daddy flagged it down. It was this white man, and Daddy said, 'My little girl is hurt and I need to take her to the doctor.' The man gave Daddy a dirty look and just drove off. He didn't ask what was wrong with this little girl, how serious it was, nothing. So we commenced walking on down the road."
This was very common back in those days. Often white men would be careless about any problems with black people if it didn't have anything to do with them.
"White people were so fixated on maintaining two of everything, that we didn't have one good anyhing. The result has been an affliction of ignorance, mediocrity and backwardness that is still crippling the South today."
Back then and often now a days some white people are so fixated on getting more of what they already have instead of focusing on people who don't even have one of what they want 3 or 4 of. Not many African Americans had enough money or resourses to get the things that they wanted more or less get more of what they already had.
^ Eva Hopkins wrote that! I forgot to put my name in it!
“We were walking up the hill when we saw a car coming and Daddy flagged it down. It was this white man, and Daddy said, “My little girl’s been hurt and I need to take her to the doctor.’ The man gave Daddy a dirty look and just drove off. He didn’t ask what was wrong with this little girl, and just drove off.”(7)
During the era of racial intolerance, Alice Walker who was black was refused help after being injured by a BB gun. The word “little girl” was used to describe the child’s innocence and helplessness. Furthermore, they were denied any sort of help by the white man because of their dark skin color. Now in the 21st century, the world has changed for the better; in the same circumstances a person could only be denied of service if their character were unpleasant.
“Don’t you ever come around her again talking about how my children don’t’ need to learn how to read and write” (15)
The white folks back then do not value education towards African Americans and look down upon them because of their “inferior skin” color. Alice’s mother was an advocate of education and was furious when white folks came up to her to discourage her kids the need for learning. It was recommended that Alice worked in the fields instead because her descendants were slaves that labored under the white supremacist. However, with the power invested in Alice’s mother she brushed away all who bully her children about the necessities of education.
Alice’s eye injury caused by her two brothers caused her to fall into a state of depression. The pressure to lie to save her brother’s hide had a tremendous negative impact on Alice’s personality. Her parents were also cheated $250 by a doctor who did nothing to repair Alice’s eye injury. Alice’s eye injury also allowed her parents to decide she should change schools. However, she was often bullied at school and her grades began to fall. Later in life she recall being thankful for the eye injury because it helped her mature and got to where she is today. In other words her blinded eye was a blessing in disguise.

"That's what Mama and the old folks told us; that babies came from stumps," explained Ruth, a stout, deep-voiced former beutician. "One day, I just about drowned searching for a baby in a tree stump that was stuck in the creek..."
This quote stuck out to me as remeniscent of the age of innocence, highlighting the excitement and curiosity a little girl feels toward a being so close in age to herself, but also so dependent, tiny and helpless.
I picked the next paraphrase because it showed me a direct correlation between complexion and education back then. It is well known that lighter skinned "blacks" were treated "better" than darker complected peoples, naturally creating tension and seperation, distracting from the real battle that was going on. The paraphrase relates because Mama is seemingly well educated, and able to articulate and express feelings in her own manner.
"Mama, being a high-toned Grant, she didn't take nothing," Bill Walker said. "Grandpa Grant would try to defend his manhandling of Grandma Nettie, but Mama wouldn't hear it. She'd get all up in his face and tell him what a lowdown, rotten, no-count husband and father he was."
I chose this 3rd quote because I too had a death related incident happen to me, more than once, in my life. My father died when I was 11, my sister when I was 16. I've witnessed complete strangers laid out in the middle of the road on MLKJ, and I've cried for every soul lost who I've come across. This quote combines the sense of beautiful innocence with the cruel ugly suprises that life has to throw your way.
"...When she pushed back the...debris Myop saw that...all his clothes had rotted away except some threads of blue denim from his overalls.
...Very near where she'd stepped into his head was a wild pink rose. As she picked it to add to her bundle she noticed...the rotted remains of a noose.
Myop laid down her flowers.
And the summer was over.

“This was the movie house where Alice had been restricted to watching her beloved Tom Mix and Hopalong Cassidy films from a broken seat in the balcony, the section white people called “nigger heaven.” Now John Peck, the owner of the theater, was running up and down the aisles, trying to make sure Alice and her guests were happy.” This quote shows how much had changed for Alice Walker. She went from sitting in the wobbly, broken chair of the Pex Theater feeling discriminated, to being catered to while at the premiere of her novel made into a film, “The Color Purple”.
“To this day, I don’t know how Alice, who didn’t have any money or tickets, convinced the white man who was operating that Ferris wheel to let her on…From that moment on, I knew Alice would accomplish great things. There was just no stopping her.” This was stated by Alice’s older brother Bill. He had lost Alice at the local traveling fair, and then finally spotted her at the top of a Ferris wheel perplexed by how she got on the ride without even a penny or a single ticket. As stated by Bill Walker, this shows that there is no stopping Alice at what she wants in life, no matter the circumstance or what obstacles lay ahead.
In chapter 3, Alice Walker’s father, Willie Lee Walker took charge and got together local farmers to purchase an old barracks from Camp Wheeler to help replace the leaky, broken down buildings where black children were being taught, since the all-white Board of Education refused to do so. I thought this sounded very generous and giving of Alice’s father to take the time to get people together to fix up the children’s school for no pay, as they were getting paid very little as it was. It showed that he cared a lot for his daughter and that she and the other children get the education they deserved in a safe environment.

The beginning of Alice Walker: A Life by Evelyn C. White has been good thus far. The first five chapters have given background on Alice and her family. White pays attention to great detail; she gives much background on the history and people in Alice’s life. I enjoyed in the first chapter how she paints this image of the South and what it meant to be a black person living there. Black people had a hard life living in a country controlled by whites. White writes, “Trapped in an inhumane sharecropping system that forced blacks to take jobs wherever white landowners would hire them…” (7). Blacks having limited options led a life that was much fastened.
Although blacks were oppressed in many ways, their black community would help each other as much as they could. The Walker family had little means to support themselves, but always took pleasure in each other. I especially enjoyed how children were still children no matter what class they were in. White records the truthful actions when describing how the sister of Alice, Ruth, had prayed for a baby sister (11). Ruth was also quite the character when she said, “One day, I just about drowned searching for a baby in a tree stump that was stuck in a creek” (11). I laughed out loud during this part because children really do take to heart what their elders say.
The rest of the chapters established Alice’s elders. I learned the hard lives that they led and the kind of people they were. Alice’s grandfathers had a hard time dealing with life and were unstable and sometimes violent. Her grandmothers were pleasant and handled life the best they could. Alice’s parents were strong people and wanted the best for their children. White describes them as “unshakeable” and I quite agree with her (23). Alice started school at age four and showed abilities beyond her age. She read a lot and was an Aquarius; just like me. I find that I have many commonalities with Alice and I am excited to be reading her story.

To: Dominique West, January 31.
So far what I've read I've enjoyed very much. What I instantly noticed whether i'm right or not is that her memories that were shared in the beginning of the book reminded me of "The Color Purple". In the story White says, "...Estella was a attractive,
high-spirited young woman who cared about Henry's heart,not his inheritenc(gone)...Nicknamed "Shug"
(short for "sugar", she loved to dance and carouse with him in jook joints, rowdy taverns set deep into
the back woods." I made a connection with the movie because I remember Shug and this storyline from the movie. Alice Walker seemed to have lead a very
interesting childhood to me. The things she said and did most kids her age weren't even capable of doing. Especially being it as she was a black child and extremely intelligent. She spoke poetry and truth at her young age. She was excited about learning and doing all types of things. In the story White recalls the story that was told to her about Alice and the picture of Booker T. Washington. " Within the same hour Alice had not only given a full report on a man I'd been looking at all my life, but had flat-out asked to take Booker T. Washington home with her..."
I thought that story was quite funny. Simply because she had walked in there, saw it, and asked to take him home with her. Which is something most kids do when they see something they like, know, and or want. Reading about the things that happened back then to her and her family is also something that I find interesting. How often do you get to read real
life stories on the struggles that someone one through and they are still alive today to tell it?
This also reminds me of my great-grandmother. She is 87 yrs old and I remember when she was maybe around 82 or so she sat and told me about the South and how she worked in the house of a white woman and she asked her to pick cotton or something along those
lines and she told them, "No I don't pick any cotton unless I want to, and right now I don't want to." These stories are all
amazing to me and all mean something. I look forward
to reading more on Alice Walker and finding out more
about her.
