The Color Purple Letter Seventy-Five

By Alice Walker

Letter Seventy-Five

Grady is all over Mary Agnes.
Mr.__ tells Celie she’s ugly; she can’t hold a candle to Shug. Shug has looks and that’s why people like her. But what does Celie have? Why should she go to Tennessee with Shug?
Then Celie asks if any more letters from Nettie have come. Mr.__ is surprised.
Celie tells Mr.__ off. She says "I curse you […]. Until you do right by me, everything you touch will crumble." And she adds in some more curses as well.
Shug pulls Celie away from Mr.__ and they leave.
