The Help- reading skills
In the book The Help I predict that Skeeter will go against the other white people and try to help the black people and help prove that they are not bad people. I predict this because Skeeter talks to the maids in a much kinder to the maids then the others. Also, Skeeter pulled Aibileen aside and asked her if she ever wished things were different so that makes me think that she wants to help them or change things. A few questions I have about the book are...why does Skeeter have interest in helping them and making a difference when she has been brought up in an area where everyone looks down on them? Another question I have is why do they think so poorly of the people caring for them when all they have done is helped them and been loyal to there "owner"? A text to self connection is that I have heard rumors before at dance about what someone did when it wasn't true so I stepped up and proved everyone wrong just like Skeeter is going to help the black people and prove the white people wrong. A text to world connection is that in this book white people are against blacks just like in America the white people used to be against black people. A text to text connection is To Kill A Mocking and this is because in both books they think differently of black people.
