I'm cautiously interpreting this as mostly
nonsense.
Regarding _The Color Purple_, I have not
read it or watched the film(s).  I prefer
not to.  I believe I know enough details
of the story to say that the characters'
misfortunes seem to be portrayed with
historical accuracy.  I regret the
misfortunes.  However, I do not wish
to experience them myself in these forms.
If it's a school assignment, I'll brace
myself.  But the controversial book of the
day was _Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_,
was it not?
