Ok, this is the final post about The Help! I have finally finished the book and I have decided that it is my favorite book I have ever read! I loved the movie and I honestly like movies better than books. I loved the movie because I could really see the characters transform into real lfe! I loved the point of the view of the Help and that I had never heard of this view before. Torwards the end it was so suspensful because I thought Skeeter, Aibilene, and Minny were going to get caught!
          In the end, Skeeter, Aiblene and Minny got stronger mentally! Skeeter moved to New York to follow her dreams, and stood up to Stuart for not supporting her book. Aibilene follows in her son's footsteps and becomes the author he dreamed of becoming. Finally, Minny stood up to Leroy and got out of her abusive house! Not only did it take courage to make that book, but it also inspired those girls to do what they had inside always. It just took one book to change their lives forever!
     I loved how The Help had Skeeter, Aibilene, and Minny's point of view. I have to say although Minny is hllarious Aibilene's point of view was the most interesting. I liked how in the book it really went into depth on her relationship with Mrs. Leefolt! I was shocked that Mrs. Leefolt barely loved her own cild! I was also very touched when Aibilene left Mae Mobley and her reaction! I had to whip out the tissues for that!

The Help : 1st post

     I have no idea what got into me tonight but I have decided to write about The Help as one of my books that I will read this summer. While listening to Glee after Riding Academy this summer (definately not a shocker) I am inspired to blog so here it goes :)
     I am currently reading The Help and I am about in the middle of it when Mrs. Celia attacks the naked hobo. ( That wasn't supposed to be a joke it really happens. ) I love the fact that Mrs. Celia really protects Minny when she is in a time of need when they are on man-to-man combat with this strange man. When the man punches Minny in the head when she is down, Mrs. Celia takes the fire poker and just goes to town on that man's poor face.
     This gets me thinking: if I was living in the 1960's would I be as racist as Mrs. Hilly, or would I be kind and loving like Mrs. Celia. I know that times were very different in the middle of the Cicil Rights movement. Would I have kept my morals that my parents have drilled into my head? Or, would I stray and make a seperate bathroom for the people who raised my children, because I thought they were unsanitary? I can only hope that I would be like Mrs, Celia and do the right thing and HElP the HELP. See what I did there? :)
