The Help
“The Help” (Good Copy)
Would you want to live in the 1960’s, have a black skin colour and be considered an “animal” or a “slave”. That’s exactly what happened to the dark coloured citizens of that time, who worked for the white people as slaves or maids. During the 1960’s time there was a small rebellion in Jackson Mississippi influenced by a book called the “The Help”, which was life changing for black citizens.
Skeeter the protagonist of this story gave three big impacts to the black community. First, Skeeter stood up for the black people’s rights by writing the book about the experiences of the maids. Second, is that when the book got published, the message was spread far and wide, both emotionally and physically. The last big effect that took place was that, Skeeter gave the black community confidence, power and strength to stand up for themselves. Personally I believe Skeeter did the right thing by writing the book because it changed many people’s lives and personality even though hers was at risk.
Skeeter stood up to the white people for the maids by writing a book called the help, about the experiences of the black maid’s daily life. By writing the book Skeeter has made the readers feel sensitive towards the black people in a good way by describing what the black maids have suffered through out their life. In the movie Skeeter wrote about a maid who served a family for at least 10 years and got fired just because the maid used the washroom in the white people’s house. In the end Skeeter has shown what hardships the maids had to go through. It was also a hard time for Skeeter because when she published the book people who knew her got frustrated and mad. Even though she knew people will find out, she still wrote and published the book for the maids. For example, when Skeeter’s boyfriend found out she wrote the book, he felt really frustrated and betrayed so in the end he finished their relationship. This was another way of how she has stood up for the
