     I am reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. So far in this book I have read about three different people. One of them is Aibileen, the second is Minny, and third is Miss Skeeter. Aibileen talks about her working and being a maid and different things she has experienced and heard through her work. Minny has just been hired to a new job and has to keep it a secret from the husband. She is teaching the woman how to cook and making her look like she can do things as a house wife. But as the chapter comes to a close the husband comes home early and Minny has to quickly hide. Miss Skeeter is a white woman who has graduated from college and cannot seem to be able to make her mom happy in anyway. She does not want to get married and does not want to do what her mom is telling her too. Instead she wishes she had the old maid Constatine back and wishes she could be a writer just like she had dreamt to be the whole time. Her mother on the other hand does not appreciate this choice the Miss Skeeter wishes to take.

  A paragraph from the book that really shows how this grammar and flow goes is:
"But I ain't never seen a baby yell like Mae Mobley Leefolt. First day I walk in the door, there she be, red-hot and hollering with the colic fighting that bottle like it's a rotten turnip. Miss Leefolt, she look terrified a her own child. 'What am I doing wrong? Why can't I stop it?"
In this book so far they are using a lot of different ways of speaking. In this chapter they have not an amazing choice of grammar usage and the way they talk. But as you get into other chapters some of their talking habits and grammar usage is very well put. This book uses a lot of dialogue as well as different usages of italics. This paragraph that I chose is one of the very first paragraphs in the book because it really stood out to me how different the uses of languages are in the different narrators of this book. So this different uses of the language and grammar make this book very well by showing you the different characters and the different surroundings the characters are in. How they learned and really shows who they are in their personalities. I feel as if they did not have these differences the book would simply be boring and confusing to which who was speaking and to whom.
