The Help

I am currently reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I am not very far into is but so far i think its an amazing book. It is set in the time where there wasn't slavery but there were maids. they were called "the help". It is set in the south and it makes the book so much more interesting because when you read it you can imagine the way they talk with their accents.

Every chapter in the book is in a different point of view in different books. So far there has been about three different perspectives, Aibileen, mini, and Ms Skeeter. Ms Skeeter is not the help. She is white and she lives with her Mom and Dad at home but she is in her twenty's. Ms Skeeter really stood out for me for some reasons. She is not at all like her friends. Her friends are rude and snotty and they barley pay attention to the help. They even make them go in different bathrooms. But Ms Skeeter is different, she has different views on the help and she doesn't treat them like trash.

The first time i noticed that Ms. Skeeter was not as rude as her friends was when they were at Elizabeths house and they were having tea. After all the rest the people left Ms Skeeter came up to Aibileen and asked her if she would want to change things. No one ever asks the help things, especially such a big question like if they would want to change something.

Ms. Skeeter is also taller and more awkward then others. I think Ms. Skeeter is sad that she is different then other people then her but i don't think that is a bad thing. I think its a good thing to be different but Ms. Skeeter doesn't realize that. She doesn't want to be different but i think that we should all find a lesson here and know that its ok to be different and we should all know and embrace that.
