The Color Of Water

I'm currently reading The Color of Water by James McBride and so far it has been shocking! My favorite part of the book is when James talks about his mother riding a bicycle that is looks very old and she rides it around the city to morn her husbands death. The most interesting moment was when the mother reveals in her diary that her father sexually molested her because it reminds me of two shows I watch. The shows I watch which reminds me this scene is Mujer Casos de La Vida Real and Lo Que Callomos Las Mujeres.

Mujer talks about letters sent to Silvia Pinal which she she remakes re-enacting what happened in the letters sent to her. It's also about things that happened in women's life and the hardships they had to indure. I've actually seen an episode of a girl who was sexually molested by her step father and she couldn't tell her mother because she was afraid that she wouldn't believe her. Lo Que Callamos Las Mujers is also like Mujer but it always sends a message to empower women to get help.

The main characters in The Color of Water is James and his jewish mother Rachel. James changed when he started going up because he was black and the whites didn't like the blacks. He would ask his mother questions about his skin color and she would always go around the questions and tell him to mind his own business and that God has no color, he is the color of water.

So far the lesson in the book is that it does not matter what skin color or religion you are, we are all humans.
