Full description ⬇️ Ask in the comments anything not answered here... We are the biggest, first, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us for this BOOK CLUB: The Color Purple by Alice Walker! Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself. ABOUT THE EVENT The idea is very simple: we will meet and discuss the book. Everyone will receive a copy of the book as PDF beforehand for free (which we kindly ask not to share with everyone - this book discussion is for educational purposes). Reach out to the host to receive the PDF, and feel free to ask any question in the discussion section of the event page. Everyone is encouraged to read the short book (in English, about 300 pages) beforehand to participate to the discussion. Coming without having read the book is possible, but just half the fun. The host will give a short introduction about the book and guide through the discussion, which will be very informal and fun. Everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and ask questions. This event is introvert friendly! No one will be put on the spot or forced to speak. Just join and share your passion for literature, no matter how much you read. This is a dream event for anyone who wishes to take a deep dive into literature and have a fun, social lunch time. Our book club will be in English. Everyone's English level is OK as this is a nice occasion to practice English in an informal and welcoming setting. ABOUT THE BOOK We will read beforehand and discuss during the event The Color Purple by Alice Walker. The book was written in 1982 and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1983. The book is a deliberate critique on the question of race and the value of individual, strength, fearlessness and resilience of women. Celie, a poor African-American girl, lives in rural Georgia in the early 1900s. She writes letters to God because her father Alphonso beats and rapes her... 📖 Read more on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Color_Purple ➡️ See the first private comment (you will need to be a register to the event) to get a free Pdf of the book (no sharing, please - this is for educational purposes only) 🚨 Trigger Warning: This book contains violence and adult content.
