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? :)
