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!
