About this Site

This site has been designed to cater for sixth form or college students studying the African-American writer Alice Walker and her 1982 novel 'The Color Purple.'  The site is however flexible enough to be of interest to other readers and your comments and feedback are welcomed.  If you have any comments regarding the site or conversely, if you would like to see your essay appear in the Exam Questions section on this site, copy and paste it to this address: mtk101@york.ac.uk.  All essays are read 

As a last word, I would like to thank all those who helped me put together this site, in particular, these people: Tony Feneck, Martin Vickers, Julia Brown, Richard Jackson, Hannah Baker, Ashley Dicks, Neil Green, [the late] Reverend Fred Green, Jane Parker, Peter Wilson and Dr Stuart Kennedy of Nottingham Trent University.

Matthew Kane was born in 1982.  He lives in York, England, where he studies at the city's University.
