#5 The Help

Finishing up the book i realized that Skeeter did not accomplish any of her goals by writing this book. Her original plan was to help the maids find their voice in Society. She ended up making the maids life worse because they got in trouble by the houses they worked for. I wish the book did not abruptly end because I would like to know what happened to the maids after and what is going on with the families. Overall this book was great and I would recommend it to anyone because it teaches a lesson of respect and how times have changed about race. I still can't believe how this occurred in the South in the 1960s it wasn't that long ago. I am going to be at Ole Miss next year and will still be experiencing a southern culture shock learning about the truth behind the South and all the history!
