Dialogue

Shug: More than anything God love admiration.
Celie: You saying God is vain?
Shug: No, not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off when you walk by the color purple in a field and don't notice it.
Celie: You saying it just wanna be loved like it say in the bible?
Shug: Yeah, Celie. Everything wanna be loved. Us sing and dance, and holla just wanting to be loved. Look at them trees. Notice how the trees do everthing people do to get attention... except walk? Oh Miss Celie, I feel like singing!




I chose this dialogue between Shug and Celie because it is what makes Celie believe in a god again. It also shows where the title The Color Purple comes from. Shug is explaining to Celie that all God wants is to be loved as he loves us, even in the little things like the purple flowers in the field. Celie finally understands that God gives us so much more than we usually see. She thought that God only put terrible men and disasters in her life but really he gave her friends and children and a pant business all to love and cherish.
