Everyone has a story, everything has a story. And those stories can be lost to our everyday lives. You get so used to seeing all of it, that you become blind to it.

And over this time I have grown an aptitude for observing.

A quiet to well-behaved child, but capable of being observant and curious. Kaede was known to be very close with her family that consisted of three; hardly ever wanting to do anything without them, and usually being too timid in meeting anyone else that was unfamiliar. Her life without them would sometimes get lonely after they would leave for work. This included leaving a fearful Kaede behind at a daycare or babysitter, and was the only one that made it seem worse than it actually was, and left to accept the fact one way or another she would have to rise over those fears. Every moment she did have, was always kept sacred; admiring both parents of their strengths and weaknesses, and even purposely imitated them at times.

It is through the physical pain that the reader understands the emotional strain and turmoil of the protagonist’s plight. The juxtaposition of survival and living are never more evident here. Her children are kidnapped; killed or sold. She has a body still recovering from the birth of a child, and she is forced to take her mother’s place, as a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault. Walker cleverly crafts this sense of desperation with Celie’s soul baring letters to god, the reader realizes she is has no one else to turn to; her writing only re-enforces her father's control over her. Her persevering spirit is what makes her survival so unique in the sense that she does not become embittered through any of it. “I look at woman, tho, cause I am not scared of them.” Telling god that she has not been traumatized at all by her mother’s passing, in fact, she goes further on “Mabey cause my mamma cuss me you think I kept mad at her. But I ain’t I feel sorry for her. (Walker, 5)” This for the reader is the most heart-breaking stance that she takes, as the reader is aware of the fact that her mother hated Celie’s guts with writing agony because her husband choose to rape her when she could not have sex with him. The reader singularly carries this sense of desperation for the protagonist as she continues to power through the intensity that surrounds her.
