Compare and Contrast: to Kill a Mocking Bird-Color Purple
To kill a mockingbird and Color Purple are two really good books who have their similarities, but of course not two things can be equal. This two book show us the the same from two different points of view. Both of them talk the problematics of African American in those times. It shows how life can be unfair sometimes and how most of those times, there is nothing we might do to change it. It shows how our decisions and action define us. How we live in a society were looking for equality and hoping for better just doesn’t fit. How one always thinks it is better than the other.

How you aren’t safe even inside your own house, how life for them has never been fair. When seeing all this unfairness in To Kill a Mockingbird from the point of the little you get a different feeling.

Another difference we see is how the main characters live their life. Celie is a African American girl who is said to be ugly and suffers abuses from her dad, while Scout is a little white girl who has never in life known what abuse is. Celie has to marry on an, per say, early age, while Scout is free to wait until she think adequate for marriage. One must work everyday of her life to take care of first her siblings and then to take care of kids who aren’t even hers. She must get up and be the
