A reminder:
Do not comment on anyone’s weight.
Do not ask graduate students, especially doctoral students, about school unless they bring it up.
Do not ask folks when they are having kids or getting married. It ain’t your business.

Happy holidays!

If Celie, Shug, Nettie, Janie, and Squeak could talk to young Pecola, what could they say to her to bring her back from the solitude of her insanity? What spell could they collectively conjure to save her?
