Compare And Contrast Charlotte Phelan And Grampa Hillburn

Charlotte Phelan and Grampa Hillburn are two highly different elders who were both raised in the south. Although they share similar backgrounds, one has a strong belief in the segregation, while the other is quite neutral and swayed by peer pressure. Furthermore, both characters are despised by their children for terrible deeds that were executed by themselves.
Charlotte Phelan, a women who,like most white women in that day, hired an African American maid(known as the help) to raise her child so she would not have to alter her lifestyle because of her own child. In Charlotte’s own eyes, it was an unfortunate burden that her daughter Skeeter had seen life differently and was not a supporter of segregation or any other type of prejudice shown
