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 answer is supernovae. In a supernova explosion, neutron capture reactions take place (this is not fusion), leading to the formation of heavy elements. This is the reason why it is said that most of the stuff that we see around us come from stars and supernovae (the heavy elements part).
