Compare and Contrast "The Help" book and movie

There are many differences between the book, The Help, and the movie, “The Help”. Although the director did manage to keep some of plot the same, there are still not as many similarities as differences in the book and movie. To start off, the director did keep most of the characters looks and personalities the same in the movie as in the book. Some differences were that in the book Skeeter is big and tall, but the movie has her slender and average height, if not shorter. Hilly is portrayed in the book as a dark haired woman, whose weight increased throughout the timeline in the book, but in the movie, she is thin and stays that way through the whole movie. Also in the movie, Skeeter’s maid, Constantine, is shorter that Skeeter, although in the book it says that Constantine is the only person who made Skeeter feel small, or short. Lastly, Constantine’s daughter in the movie, Rachel, is black, but in the book it says she may have a white daughter or even no daughter at all. In the book, the Skeeter’s family finds out Constantine is dead when they send a check to her and her daughter sends it back saying she has passed. In the movie, Skeeter’s mother says that her brother went to go bring Constantine back, but he finds out she has passed away. In the movie, Skeeter’s mother is sick with cancer from the moment she first appears. In the book she doesn’t find out she has cancer until later in the novel. The way it happens in the movie, Skeeter applies for a job in the paper and gets it by showing her rejection letter saying she’s good, but needs improvement. She is also offered $8 pay and gladly takes it. In the book, Skeeter applies for the job and just gets it, and is so in shock that she actually got the job that when she is offered $8 her employer thinks she is so in shock from the low pay he raises it to $10. Also later in the novel, it says that Skeeter takes a job in New York and gives the Miss Myrna article in the paper job to Aibileen. This does not happen
