Lit Circle "The Color Purple"

I just finished the book earlier today, and I have to say I'm pleased with the ending. At first, I didn't really think it would end well, especially when I thought Nettie died and Shug left Celie. I'm really glad that they all ended up together. However, there is still discrimination against more than just the black people in the society. Alice Walker gives us a different insight on discrimination, black versus black. I found it so surprising that the black people were fighting for their rights, yet they were still racist against each other. I don't see how they didn't understand that until they changed, they wouldn't see change outside of their African American community. Overall though, I enjoyed the book.
