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.
An explosion of that magnitude doesn't simply dissipate in a short amount of time (at least not by human standards). A supernova remnant is simply the expanding blast wave from the explosion plowing through outer space, as well as the remains of what was once the star following behind it.
