The Color Purple (1985): Nettie's Letters About Africa

The clip nettie's letters about africa from The Color Purple (1985)

"Dear Celie, the reason why I am in Africa is because...
"... one of the missionaries who was supposed to go with Corrine and Samuel...
"... to help with the children and setting up the school...
"... suddenly married a man, and I came in her place. "
I wrote a letter to you almost every day on the ship.
On my first sight of the Africa coast...
...something struck in my soul, like a large bell.
I just vibrated.
It has been a long time since I had time to write, but always...
...no matter what I'm doing, I'm writing you. Dear-
Celie! Bring me a cool drink.
Olinka is four days march through the bush from the harbor.
Do you know what a jungle is?
Trees and trees and more trees on top of that.
They are so big, they look like they were built.
And vines and ferns and animals and noises...
...that make you wonder what is lurking behind the shadows...
...of every bush.
We're up at 5:00...
...for a breakfast of millet, porridge and fruit, then morning classes.
We teach the children English, reading, writing...
...history, geography, arithmetic and Bible stories.
