Alice Walker Controversy

199 Words1 Pages
As I researched for Alice Walker, I was exposed to a whole new frontier of writing. Prior to this assignment, I never exposed myself to such controversial writing, such as Walker’s “The Color Purple”. Before studying Alice Walker, I had no knowledge of her existence. Contrary to her name sounding vaguely familiar to me, I never recognized the excellent work Walker birthed. To begin my study, I started with Wikipedia; not for my research, however, but to use their references as gateways to the story of Alice Walker. I read several articles of Walker’s biography, and slowly pieced together the character of Alice Walker. I began to read her most famous, yet controversial piece, “The Color Purple”, to acquire a grasp of Walker’s writing.
