Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This still image provides an example of what Pa’s house might have looked like during the time period The Color Purple takes place. During this time in Georgia, African Americans lived in small houses in close proximity to each other. We can gather from this image that they lived in small houses made of wood and fences surrounding them. When we are first introduced to Pa’s house in the beginning of the book, we know that it is a small run down house that they live in. Once Celie is married off, she doesn’t come back to this house for a very long time. After Pa dies, Celie finds out that the house is actually her and her sister Nettie’s. Celie returns to a refurbished house and eventually settles into her newfound work of making pants and having Nettie and her family move in. This house is an important part of the book because it is where Celie grew up in abuse and having children at a very young age to moving back with a stronger and brighter mind.
