Alice Walker: Life through her Eye
When Alice Walker was a little girl in a small town call Eatonton, Georgia, when her life changed before her very eyes. While playing with her brother, Walker was accidentally shot her in the eye with a BB gun by him. With her parents being so poor that they didn't take her to the hospital immediately. By the time they did get her some medical attention, it was too late, she was already blind in that eye. This injury forced her to look at the world in a way that she had never seen it before. With that new vision, we have great works from her as we know it today.
Walker is known for works like, Once: Poems, "Goodnight, Willie Lee, I'll See You in the Morning"; "You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down", and The Color Purple. Although these works are all different forms such as short stories, novels and poems, they all have one thing in common: her personal experiences or someone close to her.
