Author: Kathryn Stockett
Pages: 170/475
Genre: Historical Fiction
In The Help I think the author is at some points stressing the point that a white child loves its black maid, because to them there is no difference from a white person and a black one. Despite that fact in around twenty years they will employe a black lady and treat them the same way their parents might have. For example, "'They raise a white child and then twenty years later the child becomes the employer. It's that irony, that we love them and they love us, yet...' I swallowed, my voice trembling.'We don't even allow them to use the toilet in the house'" (Stockett 120). This always makes me think how if they love each other when the child is around two why can't they still have the same respect for each other when the child is twenty? I really like the way the writer changes the narrator on each chapter. Now Miss Skeeter is writing a book of interviews from black maids, but it had never been done before and it is very risky. This book keeps on getting better and better the more I read it.
