So to sum up the rest of the book really. Miss Skeeter finally got Aibileen on board with writing the book The Help and Aibileen gets Minny one of her friends who is also a maid to agree to help with this book. Many series of events rolls out in the middle of the starting the book and finishing the book but some of the main points are that Miss Skeeter gets a boyfriend as well as Aibileen is attached to Mae Mobley more then ever and Minny is still working secretly for her new employer. So the book The Help is written and published and some bad reactions come out of it. One being that Minny and her husband get a divorce because he gets fired from his job because she was apart of the book and they fight until they cant take it anymore. Aibileen is fired and is threatened. As well as Miss Skeeter is trying to be sued for the book. The book becomes a best seller so Miss Skeeter can move out of her moms house and live on her own.
The voice as well as the diction the writer uses is very distinctive. Each narrator in the book has their own way of showing their personality and uniqueness. When Aibileen talks you can tell by the way her words flow and the different sayings that come out of her mouth she has been through a rough background. Her personality through this words shows that she is caring, hardworking, and just wants to make it to the next day. When Minny talks you can tell she does not put up with anything. The way her tone of her voice sounds and the way she talks and snaps back to people shows she has a tough and hard personality. When Miss Skeeter talks though you can tell that she is from a very elegant well mannered household where she still lives. They way her words flow and how she is a writer really comes out in her speech. Also you can tell that her personality is very much different then how her mother wants it to be. Each persons culture in this book really shapes how they believe the world should work. For example Aibileen does not believe that blacks should work or have to use a separate toilet and all these different things where as some other white lady would believe that is perfectly normal. Everything you do in this book all depends on the culture you are and how you perceive your culture.
These are really good posts, Madison. I'm really happy with the effort you're putting into the class so far. Keep up the good work!
