Nov 12/13 Celie tells Harpo to “beat” Sofia because she believes that’s how men control women, but this advice causes pain and conflict. Think about a time when someone gave you advice that sounded right at first but ended up being wrong. How did it affect your situation or relationships? What lesson did you learn about thinking for yourself?

 Prompt Response: When I was younger I remember a time when I scraped my knee playing outside. I was crying because it hurt and my brother told me to rub some dirt in it to help. It did not end up helping and my wound got infected. I was mad at him for a second but got over it fast. I learned to think twice before blindly listening to others.
