Sofia is now out of jail. However her and Celie seem to be working for Millie and the Mayor. Maybe this is more punishment for Sofia? This just somewhat happened, I'm not really sure the whole story of it yet. On page 105 Sofia explains her situation by saying how bad Millie treats her. It sounds like they are pratically treating her like a slave.
Millie gets a car and has no idea how to drive. Her husband won't teach her either. So Celie teaches her how to drive. Millie then even drives Celie home for the first time in 5 years to spend the day with her family. However Millie's car breaks down so Celie has to go drop Millie back at home, go to town to get a mechanic, and then drive back home. She only got to spend 15 minutes with her kids.
On page 109 Shug comes home to visit and brings her surprise. She is now married to a man named Grady. Mr. ____ and Celie are very upset. They get over it though and there's no big deal, Mr. ____ just drinks. On page 113 while Grady and Mr ___ were driving around Celie and Shug lay in Celie's bed and Celie tells Shug of her "rape". Then on page 114 and 115 they, fool around with eachother. Leah, when I read this I knew immediately you were right that Celie is into Shug on different levels. However, does this mean that Shug is into Celie on different levels too or did she just do that?
Then on page 117 Shug tries to talk Mary Agnes into singing publicly. However Mary Agnes doesn't feel that her voice is strong enough like Shug's so she can't sing in public. I really think that in the future Mary Agnes will start to sing in public and become famous and rich, just like Shug.
Then on page 119 we hear from Nettie again. It pretty much is just a letter saying, "I love you, we're alive, and we're coming home." I wonder what their return home will mean. Will Celie even be allowed to see them because of Mr. ____'s rules? I'm sure she will be able to see her. I think Nettie will just show up at the house because there's no real other way of Celie finding out.
