I have started a new book. The book that I started is called The Help by Kathryn Stockett. This book is very interesting to me because it takes on the role of the civil rights movement of the 1960's. This book is in the point of view from all of the black maids working for their white families. You first find out about Aibileen Clark who is a very sassy women. Even though her "owner" tells her to do something she will do it...but she usually gives a snarky comment when she is asked to do something. Also in what I have read so far is that there is this white women named Skeeter Phelan, and she is very social, even with the people "her kind" is not suppose to talk to. Skeeter's best friend has Aibileen as her maid. Skeeter is a former college student who is determined to become a writer. As she becomes closer with Aibileen, she asks Aibileen a very important question... She asks Aibileen if she can interview her about what her life is like being a maid for a white family.
As Aibileen towards to saying no, because she knows that if anyone catches her and Skeeter talking about Aibileen's life then they will both get in trouble. Aibileen decides that she will let Skeeter interview her as long as they do it in private, and that know one can find out what they are doing. I am finding this book to be very interesting! I especially love the fact the author Kathryn Stockett adds some comedy to the book. This brings up the mood to the story because overall it is very sad book. Also because some of the events that take place in this book happened in real life!
I am really interested in to finding out what happens between Skeeter and Aibileen, and if they will get caught or not! But so far I really like this book!
