questions

Could i ever be friends or even cool  with Miss Hilly? i constantly asing myself this question becuase in reality i would have really told her something that wouldn't be very good or something that would have hurt her feelings but because she is not in our era i would have been quiet and never said anything to her what at all doubt in my mind she would never be a associate or friend. 
What motivated Aibileen? was it because her son died and she needed something to ease her mind? was it because  she needed  a kid in her life knowing  that  she  had a kid ? or was it because  she liked working  and having a little  extra  money.
did the relationships between black people and white people  change over time? i honestly like asking  people  this  question  because  i get different  answers  evertime, i guess  it all depends  on where ,whom and how your living .
questions i need to be answered  by everybody,anybody,somebody 

bathroom

 In the book towards the begging Aibileen  had a diffrent bathroom  that she had to use the guess bathroom in the front of the house and Miss Leefort and the rest of her family would use the bathroom in the front of the house. When Miss Hilly and the others came over to play bridge at Miss Leefort's house, Miss Hilly told Miss Leefort that the maid should be using the bathroom outside because they could have a disease. Later on Miss Leefort told her husband about it and they took it in consideration and they had a bathroom built in the garage for Aibileen. when mae mebley was caught using aibileen' s toilet, (keep in mind where she was potty trained at by aibileen) her mother think that it was right for her to do that because she dint know the difference's all she knew was she seen aibileen use it. she really dint have the right even though he i the parent.

being raised by black women

MAE MOBLEY LEEFOLT: she is a Toddler watched daily by Aibileen and one of Elizabeth Leefolt's two children. Because Mae's mother does not care or even give attention to her child, so mae mobley the child turns to Aibileen, who treats her with tenderness and love, which every kid needs and love's to have. Aibileen,teaches Mae Mobley about civil rights and equality by talking to her and telling her what nobody wants to say out loud sometimes or even has the courage to say. Obviously, the Leefolts do not  want Aibileen to teach their daughter of such things,because its not right for her daughter to know about or to even  do things with black women. i guess what they  want mae mobley to do is to take care of the kids and when she is grown enough to take care of herself to just leave. i think that when mae mobley grows  up she will  grow up to have a soft heart toward black becuase she was taught  the value or things and that every one is equal no matter what race. i think in a way she would grow up to be like miss skeeter i think that they are kinda are same people becuase  they dont care about race color or ethnicity. maybe just maybe miss skeeter had a black nanny and grew really close to her until her mother took her away so she has a soft heart for women of that ethnicity or maybe she is just carious.

Confession's

minny told miss celia about the pie an i think that it take's a good woman to do that even though the reason she did it was absolutely foolish and foul. So of coarse you know that i like the fact that she is telling her about what she did at that moment reading into the book i was thinking that these women have grown over there diffrences and now like each other or minny has grown to like miss celia. either way you put it minny must now trust miss celia enough to tell her what she has done. i think minny truly like's and trust her now becuase Ms. Celia has protected her from the crazy "naked" white man knowing that no one would help her because she is a black maid. the relationship may cover or it may not becuase of this secret, that minny has been keeping from her or even from the fact that she did it.

got me thinking

The Help was during the Civil Rights Era where color was the issue, was a disease, and was the main reason for hate and torturer. the message i got from this book was different then everyone else it was about how you should appreciation and be proud of who and what they are. i got this message from the book every time i read Abileen, Miss Skeeter, and Minny's story .i think they were the mot important because when i read i quickly notice the situation's that they have with big leading role characters an one time characters, how they ha all of their own moral stories an teaching's but to me they all were the same roll in one big story. when i hear things in my everyday life and on the news i wonder if this is still the civil rights era that were living in with each other the way the different race's separate themselves and keep to themselves make me wonder every time... and every time i wonder if it will ever change.

the end

The ending was great . at the end Minny still work's for Miss. Celia and comes to a conclusion that she really does care for miss celia. Minny finds out she is pregnant and the bad part about it that she is still getting beaten by her husband who has threatened to set the house on fire with her inside. good thing for her is that she ran away from him.  Miss. Celia can't get pregnant anymore and she is scared of loosing her husband but he told her that he isn't going anywhere. with Skeeter's mother dying from stomache cancer she morns, but she still was able to go off and become a wonderful writer.  miss hilly told her that if word come's out about what goes on that She will sue but, if she does miss Hilly's pie incident will be told to everyone. again this book was great and i think that it had a huge impact on how i see things in life sometimes. thank for tuning in and reading my blog thank you!

civil rights movement

The person that i interviewed about the civil rights movement was the AP english  teacher in my school, Dr. Leslie Edwards when the civil rights movement was going on dr. edwards 13 year of age when it  affected her life. at 13 years old dr. edwards was in the NAACP, where they had  kids 14 and younger  involved in sit-in, of coarse she was arrested, but because the cop knew who she was she was let go. her parents were strict and they told her and her siblings to never ride the bus because of where they ha to sit, she described to me how she used the bathroom before she went anywhere, because they didnt like the bathroom conditions or even sometimes  there  was no bathrooms for colerd people to use. she lived in Gangsvell,Florida, which was a small town with dusty dirt roads and little schools, what i found fascinating  was when she said that it wasnt that  bad being seperated from  others, she  said  it was like having your own town they had their own stores resaraunts and movie theaters  . her homelife was different  than most blacks  during  this  time her father was the only black dentist  there was and her mother was a schoolteacher  who in her finding jobs she expierenced racism  and sexist people. i wanted  to interview  2 different  kinds  of sex and race but i couldn't  find the other  but i guess one will do!

the "naked" man

In the book there was apart that explained a naked man that was outside of miss Celia's house, touching himself and making  jokes. when they were describing the figure and the scene i felt as though i was there inside the house. miss Celia in this part i think was represented as a hero when she saved minny from getting hurt and beaten , in this part i thought that miss celia was gunna leave her there because she didnt want to interven in between and help minny because she was black. when she came outside and hit the white man who was beating up minny i think that for a moment  i actually respected miss celia for helping minny. i think that the man who was messing with them was sent there by someone who dosent like miss celia or that she owns minny.

miss Celia's miscarriage

Around page 451 miss Celia has a miscarriage. When i read this part in the book i felt for miss Celia, because wanting a baby to a women is a strong feeling you cant get rid of (at least i think so). With someone having  a miscarriage they would be aware of  knowing that the dream they have pictured in there head, has just disappeared. Miss Celia says that not moving helps her keep her babies and to me i think that she should get a new plan because the one she has made up is absolutely not working. She has had more than one miscarriage and she always tries to hide it from her husband. She tried to hide this one from minny , but minny discovers her in the bathroom with her dead baby all bloody trying to deliver it herself. For miss Celia it must have been a dramatic experience but then again maybe not it could have been a repeat to her because she knows what to do. I think that minny actually cared for her in a moment, because i think she must have felt her pain in loosing a kid. Remembered that minny has kids herself and imaging herself loosing one of her kids i dont she  bare the thought. The way they explained the seen of her loosing the baby and the way they described the blood makes me remember back, when my best friend fell of the picnic bench doing flips,slipped  and broke his jaw. the image of the bloody jaw came all rushing into my head the way the blood flowed and splattered, the way i stood their and did nothing but being disgusted by the blood. this part in the book moved me the most because it was a reminder of the experience i had seen.


miss Celia

miss skeeter

Minny is Aibleen's friend that is also a black maid,that also knows miss skeeter(white book writer that can not jump back into her book writing for some reason). miss skeeter looks at life totally different then the people that surround her in her everyday life. she looks at African Americans way different than she should being a white woman at the time. the smallest impact in the book is the biggest impact in her life Stuart her love. sometimes i try to figure out what his ex-girlfriend did, that skeeter promised that she would never do because she is different. is it being racist?  cheating  or thinking about marriage to fast? i guess ill have to read the rest of the book to find out huh? the book is very interesting at the part that i am reading it gets me over everything that is going on.

MISS SKEETER! very fascinating character to me in this book
