The Help By Kathryn Stockett
I am Reading a book called The Help by Kathryn Sockett. I am Starting to get really interested by it. The main character is the one that the books perspective is based on and she is very intresting.Her name is Aibileen, she is a african american women that is the help for a white family of a women and daughter. The scene i have just finished in the book is a scene where every month the women that Aibileen works for has a lunch in where she invites all of her friends and Aibileen is in charge of makeing all the food, tiding the whole house, hosting by bring all the food out and makeing all of her friends feel comfertable as the walk in. She talks about being able to hear all of the chit chat that the women that she works for and her friends have. Once she has sever the appertizes and the main chorse and is going to and from the kitchen with pitcher of ice tea she is overhearing the talk that the person that she works for is having with her friends. She says they start to just talk about clothing and then when one of her friends asks to go to the bathroom they start to talk about how the lady the Aibileen works for should get a specific bathroom for the help. She is not so sure. This book is very power and intresting. This book is definatly working for me as a fun read.

Imagine what it must have been like (and is still like in some places in the world) to have someone think that it was not okay to use the same bathroom as you use. I remember traveling to Texas in 1968 and being at the beach in Galveston. The beaches had been desegregated but not everyone was happy that my siblings and I were playing with all the kids at the beach. I was 10 - I was having fun in the salt water with other kids!
