"What is it? I ast. She don't know but she gone fin out" (Walker, 6).
Because Celie is the writer of the the letters throughtout the majoriy of the novel, Walker utilizes an uneducated dialect and form of writing. Words are spelled phonetically, and more often that not, mispelled. Also, the novel lacks little to no proper punctuation. This realistic style of writing adds to the Celie's passive and downtrodden nature. When Nettie is the author of the letters, the contrast is stark and obvious. With her education, she has learned how to spell and better use proper grammer.

do those spellings make it tough to read?
