Elie Wiesel's The Help

How The Help Impacted Me in Different Ways The Help is a very inspiring story about racism, bravery, and change. The main character skeeter, struggles to become a writer for Elaine Stein publishing company, she must create an “original” idea to write about for her first article in the paper. Aibileen also narrates the story and she’s describing what she feels throughout the story. The Help is important for our society to read because it’s reminding us that racism was a problem that happened and it’s important to learn about it. This book is important because it has lessons that you can learn from their mistakes. “That’s what I like about Aibileen, she can take the most complicated problems in life and wrap them up so small and simple, they’ll fit right in your pocket.”
Aibileen worked for Elizabeth Leefolt and her daughter Mae Mobley Leefolt, the two main lessons that she tried to teach Mae Mobley was that she was important “You is kind, you is smart, you is important.” (521) the other lesson was to teach her that all people are the same but some had a different skin color, “I want to yell so loud that baby girl can hear me that dirty ain't a color, disease ain't the dirty side a town. I want to stop that moment from coming when they start to think that colored folks aren't as good as whites.” (75) the text evidence shows that Aibileen wants to raise a good child to not believe in racism. This book impacted me because I love how no matter how damaging their lives are they find the positivity. “You have to ask yourself am I gone believe what them fools say about me today?” (73) “all i’m saying is kindness don’t have no boundaries.” (72) no matter how bad their lives are they find goodness in their hearts to be kind and forget about any damaging words that were said to
