  1. Missionaries By: Jason Omann

  2. Relation to the Book • In the book, The Color Purple, Nettie- one of the sisters- is a missionary for the church. When she goes to Africa she finds her way into the presence of the Olinka Tribe. While Nettie is with the Olinka Tribe she teaches the boy children how to read and write. She cannot teach the girls how to read and write because it is against the Olinka’s law for women to become smarter than the men. Nettie secretly teaches Tashi, a young Olinka girl how to read and write. Tashi’s father finds out that she is being taught and she has to get scarred.
