Alice Walker has written book of poetry and short stories, a biography, and several novels She is probably best known for her novel The Color Purple, published in 1982 The book vividly narrates the richness and complexity of black people – especially black women – in Georgia in the 1920s and 1930s Although the novel came under bitter attack by certain critics and readers,
it was applauded by others and won both the American Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for fiction It became a bestseller, selling over 4 million copies, and it was made into a successful film
by noted director Steven Spielberg The novel reveals horror, drudgery, and joy of black life in rural Georgia It gets much of its special flavor from its use of the words, rhythm, and grammar of Black English and from its epistolary style Telling a story through letters was a narrative structure commonly used by eighteen-century novelists, but it is not often used in contemporary fiction Unlike most epistolary novels, which have the effect of distancing the reader from the events described by the letter writer, The Colour Purple used the letter form to draw the reader into absolute intimacy with the poor, uneducated, but wonderfully observant Celia, like William Faulkner’ character Dilsey, does not simply survive, but prevails

The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo It became
a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play Goals became a cage of 10 x 3 feet and a goal could be scored
by being thrown Players could only be tackled [try to take the ball from] when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck Games were often nothing more than gang [organized group]fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888 The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues [place where people agree to meet, esp for a sports
