Alice Walker's most famous work, THE COLOR PURPLE (1982), takes the form, unusual in modern-day Western literature, of an epistolary novel. The story is told in letters, many of them addressed to God by the novel's protagonist, Celie, a young black girl in rural Georgia. zav | Student, Undergraduate | eNotes Newbie.
What happens after a supernova? A: Depending on the size of the star before it explodes as a supernova, the core of the star either shrinks back into a tiny neutron star or becomes a black hole. If the star is only a few times bigger than the sun, the core becomes a tiny neutron star.
The remnant of a supernova explosion is a glowing filamentary nebula of, generally, symmetric shape. In a supernova explosion a star ejects a substantial part of its mass (about 1 solar mass) at a speed of about 10,000 km/sec. The resulting spherically symmetric shock wave travels through the interstellar gas.
